Answer 1

A. 115.0

Explanation:

To find the median of the data, we need to arrange the oil reserves in ascending order. The ordered values are:

98, 104, 115, 137, 263

Since there are five values, the median is the middle value. In this case, the middle value is 115. Therefore, the median of the data is A) 115.0 billion barrels.
