Shouldn't this be D, as there are no units given for the graph's axis?

Basic rule of any distribution: In a skewed distribution the mean is always closer to the tail, in this case since its a right skewed distribution therefore mean will be closer to the right tail.

I think technically speaking, you are not wrong in raising the point of axes units not mentioned, but we should assume a normal "left to right" axes unless mentioned otherwise.

Hopes this helps!!
