To determine the mode of the dataset, we need to count the frequency of each response:
- hard-boiled: 3
- soft-boiled: 3
- scrambled: 3
- over easy: 3
Each of the styles (hard-boiled, soft-boiled, scrambled, and over easy) appears 3 times.
Since there are four styles that appear with the same highest frequency, this dataset is multimodal.
Thus, the correct statement regarding the modes in the dataset is:
"The dataset has no modes."
However, based on the options provided, the closest accurate response reflecting the scenario is that the dataset has multiple modes (scrambled, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, over easy) but since it's not listed, the dataset does not have a single unique mode.
