B Correct answer
Explanation

Semi-additive facts can be aggregated along some dimensions but not all. 'Average count of orders' is semi-additive because while you can compute averages across time periods, orders themselves are discrete events - you cannot meaningfully 'sum' order counts across time dimensions (adding yesterday's orders to today's doesn't produce a useful business metric). Additive facts (like revenue) can be summed across all dimensions; non-additive facts (like ratios) cannot be summed at all.
