Liam works at a zoo. He was looking at some data showing the masses of their 5 African elephants. The mean mass of the elephants was 3,800 kg, and the median mass was 3,600 kg. The smallest elephant, named Lola, weighed 2,700 kg

Lola then got very sick and lost weight until her mass reached 1,800 kg

How will Lola's mass decreasing affect the mean and median?

(A) Both the mean and median will decrease.

(B) The median will decrease, and the mean will stay the same.

(C) The mean will decrease, and the median will stay the same.

(D) The mean will decrease, and the median will increase.
