The answer is C: the average distance between variable scores and the mean in a set of data.

Explanation for each option:

A. Statistics used to organize, summarize, and describe sample data - This describes descriptive statistics, which include measures like mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, but it does not specifically define standard deviation.

B. Value within a given set of data in its original form - This refers to raw data or individual data points, not standard deviation.

C. Average distance between variable scores and the mean in a set of data - This is the correct definition of standard deviation. It measures how spread out the numbers in a data set are around the mean.

D. Difference between the largest and smallest variable scores in a set of data - This describes the range, not the standard deviation. The range is a measure of the spread of the data but is not the same as standard deviation.
