If the sales of washing machines for respective years are \( a, b, c, d, e, f, g, \) and \( h \), then which of the following averages will be computed?
            (A) \( \frac{a + b + c + d}{4} \)  
            (B) \( \frac{a + c + d + e}{4} \)  
            (C) \( \frac{c + d + f + h}{4} \)  
            (D) \( \frac{b + c + d + e}{4} \)  
            Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

              • (A), (B), and (D) only
              • (A) and (D) only
              • (C) and (D) only
              • (B), (C), and (D) only
