Answer: A

Explanation:

The mean height for the five dogs is calculated by adding up all the heights and dividing by the number of dogs.

The formula is: mean = (300 + 430 + 170 + 470 + 600) / 5 mean = 1970 / 5 mean = 394

Therefore, option A is correct.

Option B is incorrect because it is the median height, which is the middle value when the heights are arranged in ascending order.

Option C is incorrect because it is the mean height multiplied by 1.25.

Option D is incorrect because it is the mean height multiplied by 1.28.
