B

Step-by-step explanation:

The discrete type of data contains observations that can be counted and consists of finite set of data. In the given problem the votes received by Derek consists of finite set of value and votes received by Derek are countable.

Hence the votes received by Derek is discrete data set because there is finite number of values.
