I think the answer is D. 3.39 because it is taken from a population of 40?

Well, "40" doesn't really answer the question.  The fact that "40" is greater than the others is what is important.

@tkhunny so being that 40 is greater than the others the sample mean would be d. 3.39?

Let's get good reasons in there.  Good work.
