    Option A is correct

    Explanation:

    In the question above, we have:

    15 vehicles sold for $225,000, therefore, the average price was $225,000/15 = $15,000

    A. The median price for the 15 vehicles was $13,000.

    If the median price was $13,000, this means that half the cars were at that price or below. For every car that was below $13,000, there has to be a car above $17,000 to balance it out, to make the average stay at $15,000. If half the cars are below $13,000 and the highest cars are not above $16,500, then it would not be possible to have an average of $15,000. This statement implies that at least one car is above $17,000, and therefore has to be above $16,500. This answers to the question. This statement is sufficient.
