C
2 and 52\ \mathrm{and}\ 52 and 5
D

Answer 1

To find the mode of the set of data, we need to identify which number appears most frequently.

From the data provided, we have:

- A: 555
- B: 222
- C: 2, 52, 52, and 5
- D: 888

First, let's list the numbers we have:

- 555 (1 occurrence)
- 222 (1 occurrence)
- 2 (1 occurrence)
- 52 (2 occurrences)
- 5 (1 occurrence)
- 888 (1 occurrence)

Now, let's count the occurrences:
- 555 occurs 1 time
- 222 occurs 1 time
- 2 occurs 1 time
- 52 occurs 2 times
- 5 occurs 1 time
- 888 occurs 1 time

The number with the highest frequency is 52, which occurs 2 times.

Thus, the mode of the data set is **52**.
