The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$,respectively. It was later discovered that one observation was mistakenly recorded as $8$ instead of $12$. The correct standard deviation is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3.86}$
  • B
    $1.8$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3.96}$
  • D
    $1.94$
