The median of a set of data is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in numerical order.
First, let's arrange the set of data in numerical order: 30, 32, 32, 36, 42, 43, 44 and 45.
Since we have 8 numbers, the median will be the average of the 4th and 5th numbers.
Therefore, the median is (36 + 42) / 2 = 39.
D. 39 is the correct answer.
