Answer

Correct option: C.
range

The difference between the highest and lowest observations in a data is its range.
Ex : Given marks are:
$20, 30, 17, 45, 40, 33, 37, 47, 27, 48$
Arrange them in ascending order, we get
$17, 20, 27, 30, 33, 37, 40, 45, 47, 48$
The highest mark $= 48$
The lowest mark $= 17$
Now, Range $= 48 - 17 = 31$
