Answer: D. range
Step-by-step explanation:
To measure the center of the tendency we use Mean , median or mode depends on the type of data.
But when we discuss about the distance between the initial point and the final point in a data , we use 'range' as term for this.
Range= distance between initial and final point.
here, range = distance between the starting point and the point where water-skiing accident occurs.
Hence, the correct option is D. range
