I'm going with option D. $46.59 seems like a reasonable median based on the information provided. Though I do wonder why the unit costs are in increments of $0.13. Weird, but I'll go with it.

Haha, the person who came up with option C must be a real comedian. $40.00 as the median? That's about as realistic as a unicorn riding a flying saucer.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The data looks a bit suspicious to me. How can the median be exactly $40.00? That's a little too round, don't you think?
