This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

skewness

The third central moment of a distribution measures the asymmetry of the probability density, which is known as skewness. Skewness indicates whether the data points are skewed to the left or right of the mean. Hence, the correct answer is option 1, "skewness."
