Solution

The correct option is C Mode
In a distribution, mode gives the data whose frequency is highest. This means that for an ungrouped data, the mode is the value of the data that repeats maximum number of times. For the lottery tickets, if I want to find the most repeated number, mode will serve this purpose.
