Question is asking which among the 3 operations is equivalent to finding average of 5 given numbers.
A calculates product, so no.
B adds, doubles and shifts the decimal to the left, meaning divides by 10. Basically adds and divides by 5 => average.
C finds the median, not mean.
So answer is C) II only
