Choose the correct answer below. A. The mean and the median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies.   B. The mean and median appear to be roughly the same for all collections.   C. The mean is lower for the security​ company, but the median is lower for the collections performed by other companies.   D.

The median is lower for the collections performed by other​ companies, but the mean is lower for the security company.
