Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

From the given histogram it is clear that it is right skewed or positive skewed distribution because the tail is stretched toward right.

Negative skewed: Mean < Median < Mode

No skewed: Mean = Median = Mode

Positive skewed: Mean > Median > Mode

Since the given histogram is positive skewed distribution, therefore mean is greater than the median.

Hence the correct option is A.
