We add up all those numbers (excluding 30) and divide by the number of numbers (9). This results in 78.8 (round up to 79).
79-74 = 5. So the mean has increased by 5 points. (C)

The answer is C, 1.
In a number line, the larger number it gets, the more of the right side they're. The smaller the number, the more left side they get.
So, on a number line, 1 is just at the right side of 0, all the other options are at least one more place away from 0.
