Range is the easiest to interpret as it simply provides the difference between the maximum and minimum values. Mean deviation is slightly more complex but still easy to interpret as it provides the average deviation from the mean. Variance is the most difficult to interpret as it involves squaring the deviations from the mean, which makes it less intuitive. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it ranks the measures of dispersion in the order of increasing difficulty/ease of interpretation.
