Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following list of data

36 20 35 13 30 14 36 11 29 19 22 40 34 17 26 21

The list contains 16 data.

The first step to calculate the median is to order the data from least to highest

11,13,14,17,19,20,21,22,26,29,30,34,35,36,36,40

Now mark the two central values of the data set

11,13,14,17,19,20,21         [22,26]       29,30,34,35,36,36,40

The median of the data is the average of the two central values

Note that the median is the central value of the ordered data set
