To find the median of a data set, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order.
The numbers in the given data set are: {13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13}
Arranging them in ascending order, we get: {13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21}
The median is the middle value in this ordered set. Since the set has an odd number of elements, the middle value is the fifth value, which is 14.
Therefore, the correct answer is 14.
