Detailed Solution & Explanation

Descriptive statistics is a branch of statistics that deals with summarizing and describing the features of a given dataset, such as calculating the mean, median, mode, or range. When we calculate the average of salaries in a factory and state it as 47,000\displaystyle 47,000, we are directly summarizing and describing the data of the employees within that factory without drawing any external inferences or generalizations about a larger population. In contrast, inferential statistics involves using sample data to make predictions or decisions about a larger population. Therefore, this statement is classified as descriptive statistics. Even though some keys erroneously list Option B (Inferential), the conceptually correct choice is Option A. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
