ARange uses extreme values

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Range uses extreme values
1. The range is computed from only two numbers.
2. Those two are the ends of the data.
3. As range is calculated from the two extreme values, any outlier badly influences the result.
4. So the answer is range uses extreme values.
