    a) Range

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The range is the difference between the highest and the lowest value of a set, so it is sensitive to extreme values. That is, you can have two sets with the same mean, but with very different spacings.

    For example, two grades:

    set A = {40, 50, 50, 60}

    set B = {0, 50, 50, 100}

    The set B has a way higher range (100) than set A (20), that is, the range is sensitive to extreme values.

    So the correct answer is:

    a) Range
