B) 99
54 - 14 = 40

Hmmm - that range thing again
Yes, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data.

In this case, the highest number of employees is 54 and the lowest number is 14, so:

Range = highest value - lowest value
Range = 54 - 14
Range = 40

Therefore, the range of the numbers of employees in these departments is 40, which corresponds to option D.
