The answer is: [C]: "median > mode" .
_________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________
Note:
_________________________________________
From looking at the given "bar chart" graph:

"100" occurs 14 times;

"200" occurs 6 times;

"300" occurs 18 times;

"400" occurs 12 times;

"500" occurs 2 times;

"600" occurs 12 times;

"700" occurs 8 times;
__________________________

So, the "mode" (the value the occurs the most often) is "300".
________________________________________________
The median; or "middle number":

Take this values (frequency in which they occur; in least to greatest) to repesent the actual values; for the purpose of determining the "median":

2, 6, 8, 12, 12, 14, 18

The representative value for the median is "12" ; which corresponds to:

"400" and "600" ;

So, in this case, we calculate the "median" by taking the "mean" of these two (2) values:

mean = (sum of the values) ÷ (number of values being added) ;

= (400 + 600) / 2 = 1,000 / 2 = 500.

The median is: "500" .

The mode is: "300" .

Note that: "500 > 300" ;

So; the "median > mode" ; which is:

Answer choice: [C]: "median > mode" .
