Answer is E.
Nice question

The standard deviation is always greater than or equal to 0. So, ELIMINATE I and II.
The standard deviation equals 0 only when all of the values in the set are the same. This is clearly not the case, so the standard deviation cannot equal 0. ELIMINATE III.

This leaves us with E

Cheers,
Brent
