Given the fact that the integers in set S are consecutive and the value of the second term is n, the remaining terms can be expressed as n − 1, n + 1, and n + 2, with n − 1 the first term in the sequence.
The average of a set of numbers can be expressed as (Sum) ÷ (Number of Terms), which for this problem equals:
\(\frac{(n-1)+n+(n+1)+(n+2)}{4}=n+\frac{1}{2}\)
C is the answer
