  2. B
    mode
  3. C
    variance
  4. D
    mean

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Adding a constant to every value in a dataset is a "change of origin."Mean, Median, and Mode all increase by that constant.Measures of dispersion (Range, Mean Deviation, Standard Deviation, Variance) are independent of the change of origin.Therefore, the variance remains unchanged.
