• A. option (d) is correct.
• B. Option (a), (b), and (c) are correct

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Option (a), (b), and (c) are correct

Explanation for the correct option:

Option (a), (b), and (c) : Extreme values have an inappropriate impact on range. It does not include all of the values. Any change in other values has no effect on the range as long as the minimum and maximum values stay unchanged. The open-ended frequency distribution cannot be estimated.

Hence, option (d) is correct.
