The mean is a reliable measure of the central tendency when the data are normally distributed but when the data are skewed, the mean is less relaible.

In our case, we can see that there are not many outliers because the means are very close, then, the answer is

A) A prediction based on the data is reliable, because there are no noticeable differences among the samples.
