Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Range represents the dispersion in a data set as it measures the difference between the maximum and minimum values. Proportion represents the relative frequency of a particular value and does not give information about dispersion. Mode represents the most frequently occurring value and does not give information about variance. Median represents the middle value and does not give information about the spread of the data.
