Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Median- The average

The average can be found by adding the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers, in this case that would be 7. 10+2+8+9+5+2+6=42. 42÷7= 6. So the average before 12 is 6. 42+12 is the total adding that 12 and would equal 54. 54÷8=6.75, averaging out to 7. The average increased by about 1. So, the answer is D.
