Explanation:

Descriptive statistics summarize or describe a dataset's features. Here, the average score (68%) describes the English classes' final exam results. Inferential stats make predictions, anecdotal is personal stories, and analogical uses comparisons—none fit. So it's descriptive.

B. descriptive
