This question is a real head-scratcher, but I think I've got it figured out. The answer is C) 12, because 12 is the average frequency of the ad, and that's the only option that makes sense. Unless, of course, the question is just a trick to see if we can resist the temptation to choose the largest number, which would be B) 360,000. But I'm sticking with C) 12, because I'm not falling for any of those reverse psychology mind games!

E) 1.5 is the way to go. If 30,000 people watched the ad and there were a total of 360,000 views, then the average frequency must be 360,000 / 30,000 = 1.5 views per person.

I'm going with B) 360,000. The question clearly states that the ad was watched 360,000 times, so that has to be the average frequency.

D) 10,000 seems like the correct answer to me. The survey covered 20,000 households, so the average frequency would be 360,000 / 20,000 = 10,000 views.
