Answer: (D) none of the these.

Step-by-step explanation:

A multimodal distribution refers to a distribution with two or more modes.

If the shape of our data set is multimodal, the it will show two or more peaks which represents the number modes in the data.

Since it has no relation with mean or median of the data, there for the correct option will be "none of these".

If the shape of our data set is multimodal, we expect:(A) the mean to be less than the median.(B) the mean to be larger than the median.(C) the mean and the median to be approximately the same.(D) none of the these.
