Standard deviation of a data set is the square root of the calculated variance of a set of data.

Standard deviation is a statistical measure of diversity or variability in a data set. A low standard deviation indicates that data points are generally close to the mean or the average value. A high standard deviation indicates greater variability in data points or higher dispersion from the mean.

If we have a data set that shows high variability in the data values and the range, that data set has a greater standard deviation.

From the options, the option that shows the higher variability in the numbers and a higher range is the last option.

The LAST OPTION is correct.
