Explanation:
The ocean covers about 70% of Earth’s surface. So, it’s not surprising that it plays a large part in Earth’s environment. As Earth warms, water in the ocean soaks up energy (heat) and distributes it more evenly across the planet. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere. The additional heat and carbon dioxide in the ocean can change the environment for the many plants and animals that live there. Earth’s climate is warming due to human activities. As Earth experiences a warming climate, we experience hotter air temperatures. The ocean does an excellent job of absorbing the extra heat from the atmosphere, delaying the full impact of global warming. The top few meters of the ocean store as much heat as Earth's entire atmosphere. So, as the planet warms, it's the ocean that gets most of the extra energy. More than 90% of the global warming is going into the ocean. But if the ocean gets too warm, then the plants and animals that live there can get sick or even die.
Have a great day! :D

In short, Your Answer would be Option A
Hope this helps!</span>
The correct answer is: "Median is not affected by extreme values".
The median is the value located in the middle position of the sample, at the same distance for the upper and lower values. For instance, in this dataset {1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13}, the median is 8, in the fourth possition from the left and from the right.
It is usually compared with the mean. The main difference is that the mean is affected by outliers but the median is not. In the example used above, if substituting the value 13 for 100, the median would still be 8, as it would continue being in the fourth position from both sides.
On the other hand, the mean in the original dataset is 7.57, while after the modification it increases to 20.
