The deviation of a data point in relation to the mean is calculated as:

\[
\text{Deviation} = \text{Data Point} - \text{Mean}
\]

Given that the mean of the dataset is 59 and the data point in question is 43, we can calculate the deviation as follows:

\[
\text{Deviation} = 43 - 59 = -16
\]

Therefore, the correct response is:

**−16**
