Which of the following sets of numbers has the greatest standard deviation?

A {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
C {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}
D {0, 0, 0, 10, 10}

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

Standard deviation measures the dispersion of data points. Set D has its values {0, 0, 0, 10, 10} spread far from their mean (4), resulting in the largest average squared difference. Sets A, B, and C have less overall spread or different relative distributions.
