D Correct answer
Explanation

Measures of central tendency describe the center or typical value of a dataset. Arithmetic mean, mode, and median are all measures of central tendency. Variance is a measure of dispersion or spread, not central tendency - it quantifies how far data points deviate from the mean. Therefore, variance is the correct answer as the option that is NOT a measure of central tendency.
