Answer:

D. absolute deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We have different measure of variability that include range, interquartile range, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation, etc.

Quartiles or ranges may be useful but they are limited as they tend to skip a lot of data in the group.

While, absolute deviation can help us get a more representative idea of spread for a data set like the one given in this question, where the elements have close difference.
