Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Given Data Set = 0.48 , 0.66 , 1.02 , 0.82 , 0.7 , 0.94

Number of observation in data set,N = 6

It is an even number.

So, Formula for Median =
$(((N)/(2))^(th)+((N)/(2)+1)^(th)\:term)/(2)$

before using the formula we arrange data in increasing order or decreasing order.

Data set in increasing order = 0.48 , 0.66 , 0.7 , 0.82 , 0.94 , 1.02

Now,

Median =
$(((6)/(2))^(th)+((6)/(2)+1)^(th)\:term)/(2)$

=
$(3^(rd)+4^(th)\:term)/(2)$

=
(0.7+0.82)/(2)

=
(1.52)/(2)

=
0.76

Therefore, Option B is correct.
