B.

Correct option is A

Given:

The weights (in kg) are: 54, 62, 65, 70, 60, 59, 55.

Concept Used:

The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending order.

Solution:

Arranging the weights in ascending order:
54, 55, 59, 60, 62, 65, 70

Since there are 7 observations (odd number), the median is the 4th value.

Thus, Median = 60 kg.
