Step-by-step explanation

The average deviation, or mean absolute deviation, is calculated similarly to the standard deviation. The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean

Mean absolute deviation helps us get a sense of how "spread out" the values in a data set are.

Therefore, the best option is Mean Absolute Deviation

Option D is correct
