A. (150, 60)

B. (50,20)

C. (200, 100)

D. (250, 80)

D. (250, 80)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Outliers are values that "lie outside" the other values in a dataset, because their values are "far away" from the main group of data.

b) In this case, the values of A, B, and C have ratios of their coordinates of about 2.5, but the coordinate ratio of D is more than 3.  This makes it to lie far away from the group of data, and therefore an outliner.

c) The Ratios of the Coordinate Values are calculated as follows: A = 2.5 (150/60), B = 2.5 (50/20), C = 2 (200/100), while D = 3.125 (250/80).
