Correct answer is C

Total frequency = 1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 22

  Median is the middle number

 = \(\frac{Nth}{2}\)

  term = \(\frac{22th}{2}\) = 11th term

  Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3

  Median = 3 + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{6}{2}\) = 3

  Answer is C
