Solution

The correct option is B $19$
The marks in the test are: $28, 26, 17, 12, 14, 19, 27, 26, 21, 16, 15$
Arranging the marks in the test in ascending order: $12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21, 26, 26, 27, 28$
There are $11$ values. Since, it is an odd number, median will be the $6^{t h}$ number after arranging the marks in ascending order.
Hence, median $= 19$
