Well, the correct explanation is as follows,

If an observation  is abnormally more than or less than the remaining observations in the data, Mean is the one affected the most. Since median is the middle most data of the observation, it doesn't get affected,. Mode is the one which appears the most, It also doesn't get affected. But mean is the average of all the observations in the data, it gets affected the most.

Hope you got the answer

wishing you all the best for your future.
