Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
There is a potential outlier shown in the histogram, as there is one bar that extends much higher than the others, indicating that there may be one or a few students who spend significantly more time on the Internet than the rest of the group. The other statements, that most values are around 800 and that the range is between 0 and 400, are not supported by the histogram.
