Explanation
stdev is the correct function name in the stats command for calculating sample standard deviation of a numeric field - for example, stats stdev(response_time) returns how spread out your values are from the mean. Option B (dev) is not a valid stats function. Option C (count deviation) is fabricated and conflates two unrelated concepts. Option D (by standarddev) misuses by, which is a clause for grouping results, not a function name.
Memory tip: Think "stdev = standard deviation" - it's a direct abbreviation, just drop the "an" and "iation" from "standard deviation."
