Explanation / Answer

C)

When data are either skewed left or skewed right, there are extreme values in the tail, which tend to pull the mean in the direction of the tail. If the distribution of the data is skewed right, there are large observations in the right tail. These observations tend to increase the value of the mean, while having little effect on the median.
