Solution

The correct option is D 13
Median is the middle value of a numerically ordered data set.

Arranging the ages in ascending order, we get:
8, 10, 13, 14, 17

Since the total number of data points is odd, the median is the middle value of the data set arranged in ascending order.

Thus, the median of the given data set is 13.

Hence, the median age is 13.
