Answer:

Standard deviation

Explanation:

You use the standard deviation to determine how far the particular mark is further away from the mean. It shows how that particular data point agrees with the mean.

A is wrong

The mean is the average of the data. It does not tell you the information needed in this question.

B is wrong

The mode is just the highest in frequency. It does not say anything about agreeing with the mean

C is wrong

This is wrong and it refers to the middle number in the data set
