Answer:

B. 170

Explanation:

We have been given that the mean of a symmetrical distribution is 170. We are asked to choose the value for the median of the distribution from our given choices.

Since we know that the median of a symmetrical distribution is equal to mean of the distribution, therefore, the median of our given distribution will be also 170 and option B is the correct choice.
