Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The median age of the remaining four people cannot be determined with the information given because we do not know the ages of the other four individuals, only that the median of all five was 30 when the 50-year-old was included. Removing the 50-year-old could change the median in an unpredictable way without more specific age information for the remaining individuals.
