- The mode is 11, which means 11 must occur most frequently.

- Currently, the number 11 appears only twice.

- For 11 to be the mode, (2k - 1) must also equal 11.

- Set up the equation: 2k - 1 = 11.

- Solve for k:

- Add 1 to both sides: 2k = 12.

- Divide by 2: k = 6.

- The correct option is Option:2, 6
