Solution

The correct option is A
$8$

First, we will arrange the given numbers in ascending order :
$4, 4, 7, 5, 8, 6, 8, 3, 11$
Here, n $= 9$ , which is odd.
So, Median $=$ Value of $\frac{1}{2} {(n + 1)}^{t h}$ observation
Median of the given numbers $=$ Value of $\frac{1}{2} {(9 + 1)}^{t h}$ term
$=$ Value of $5^{t h}$ term $= 8$
Hence, median of the given numbers is $8$ .
So, (A) is the correct option.
