Answer 1

The correct option is B 143

We know that,
The mode of a set of observations is the observation that occurs most often.
We arrange the given data in the following way:
124, 132, 135, 143, 143, 143, 149, 150, 152 , 158 .

We see that in the above observation 143 is the height of the maximum number of students.

Hence, the mode of the given data is 143.
