From 1
The range of the list is \(4\)

We can have \(-1,0,1,2,3\) or \(1,2,3,5\)
Insufficient to determine the mean. \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

From 2
The sum of the integers in the list is \(0\)

Again there can be many possibilities of getting mean
\(-6,0,1,2,3\) or \(-2,-1,0,1,2\), so insufficient. \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

From \(1 \,\& \,2\)

Set is \(-2,-1,0,1,2\). Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Therefore, C
