    B.

    Mode

    C.

    Ans. (d)

    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) Median – A measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a data set when arranged in ascending order.
    · (b) Mode – A measure of central tendency that represents the most frequent value in a data set.
    · (c) Mean – The arithmetic average of all values in a data set, a measure of central tendency.
    · (d) Standard deviationCorrect answer. It is not a measure of central tendency but a measure of variability or spread in a data set.
