Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Arrange in ascending order: 27, 29, 30, 34, 38, 41, 45.

  2. There are 7 values, so the median is the 4th value: 34 cm.

30 cm is the middle entry of the list as written, before sorting. 36 cm is the average of the smallest and largest heights, and 18 cm is the range.
