Thank you.

1) can be any value  

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is used to measure the central tendency of data which represents the whole data in the best way. It can be found as the ratio of the sum of all the observations to the total number of observations.

Further, if the data set contain the smallest value then, the mean will be less. It can be any value, it can be negative, data can be less than mean and also it can be Zero.

Thus, only Option 1 is correct.
