Average = (Total Number of Houses *16% * 0 + Total Number of Houses *8% * 1 + Total Number of Houses *24% * 2 + Total Number of Houses *20% * 3 + Total Number of Houses *20% * 4 + Total Number of Houses *12% * 5 or more) / Total Number of Houses
If the last number of televisions was a fixed number instead of 5 or more then we would ahve found the average. But in this case we cannot find it.
So, Answer will be A. Hope it helps!

When we are finding average then in the numerator we are finding the total number of televisions in each category by multiplying the number of households in that category * number of televisions in that category.
Let's take an example of number of households with 1 Television.
To find the total number of televisions in houses with 1 television each we need to find the total number of houses in that category * 1 (As each house has only 1 television).
Now, how do we find the number of houses with 1 television? It is given to us that that percentage is 8% of the total number of houses => 8% * Total Number of houses

Average = (Total Number of Houses *16% * 0 + Total Number of Houses *8% * 1 + Total Number of Houses *24% * 2 + Total Number of Houses *20% * 3 + Total Number of Houses *20% * 4 + Total Number of Houses *12% * 5 or more) / Total Number of Houses
Basically, I was referring to that Yellow highlighted portion. Why multiply with "Total Number of Houses" each time?
Shouldn't it be like this below?
Average = (16% * 0 + 8% * 1 + 24% * 2 + 20% * 3 + 20% * 4 + 12% * 5 or more) / Total Number of Houses

To get total number of houses with 0 Televisions you have to do 16% multiplied by number of houses. Lets understand using below example
Total number of students = 100 % of boys in class is 20%
If I ask you the actual number of boys then will we say 20% or 20% of Total
We will say 20% of Total = \(\frac{20}{100}\) * 100 = 20 boys
