The term that describes the center of a data set, focusing on the most common measures—mean, median, and mode—is:
**A. Measure of center**
- **Mean**: The average of the data set, calculated by adding all the values and dividing by the number of values.
- **Median**: The middle value of the data set when arranged in ascending or descending order. If there is an even number of observations, it's the average of the two middle values.
- **Mode**: The value that appears most frequently in the data set.
Thus, "measure of center" is the appropriate term for describing these statistics.
