Correct Answer

✅ Option c — Median

By definition, the

\displaystyle 50^{\text{th}}

percentile (

\displaystyle P_{50}

) is the value below which

\displaystyle 50\%

of the observations fall. In a sorted dataset, this corresponds exactly to the middle-most value, which is the Median (

\displaystyle M

). Therefore, the

\displaystyle 50^{\text{th}}

percentile is equal to the median. Mathematically:

P_{50} = D_5 = Q_2 = \text{Median}

Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
