C Correct answer
Explanation

Average = (5 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 8) / 6 = 30 / 6 = 5.

AI explanation

To find the average daily absenteeism, apply the basic average formula by dividing the sum of the values by the total number of days. Adding the absentees for the 6 days gives 5 plus 7 plus 3 plus 2 plus 5 plus 8, which totals 30. Dividing this sum by 6 days results in an average of 5 absentees per day.
