The heights of five students at Gleeson Middle School are shown in the graph. The range of the heights is closest to
(A) $75 \mathrm{~cm}$
(B) $0 \mathrm{~cm}$
(C) $25 \mathrm{~cm}$
(D) $100 \mathrm{~cm}$
(E) $50 \mathrm{~cm}$

The range of the students' heights is equal to the difference between the height of the tallest student and the height of the shortest student.

Reading from the graph, Emma is the tallest student and her height is approximately $175 \mathrm{~cm}$. Kinley is the shortest student and her height is approximately $100 \mathrm{~cm}$. Therefore, the range of heights is closest to $175-100=75 \mathrm{~cm}$.

ANSWER: (A)
