Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Range is the measure of variability that is simply the difference between the highest and lowest scores. Variance and standard deviation are measures of variability that take into account the whole distribution of scores, not just the highest and lowest scores. The median is a measure of central tendency, not variability.
