Let $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ be the standard deviations of two distributions $D_1$ and $D_2$ respectively,and $D_1$ be more consistent than $D_2$. If the means of $D_1$ and $D_2$ are the same,then the percentage increase in the standard deviation of $D_2$ over the standard deviation of $D_1$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{\sigma_2} \times 100$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma_1-\sigma_2}{\sigma_1} \times 100$
  • C
    $\frac{\sigma_2-\sigma_1}{\sigma_2} \times 100$
  • D
    $\frac{\sigma_2-\sigma_1}{\sigma_1} \times 100$
