The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Sales of red colour refrigerator in all the given years in thousands = (20 + 30 + 45) = 95
Sales of Blue colour refrigerator in all the given years in thousands = (25 + 32 + 48) = 105
Sales of Lemon colour refrigerator in all the given years in thousands = (47 + 23 + 32) = 102
