The mode of a frequency distribution is defined as the observation that occurs with the highest frequency in the given data.
In this discrete distribution of shirt sizes, the size whose frequency is the maximum among all listed sizes is identified as the mode.
From the given frequency table, the shirt size with the greatest number of persons wearing it is 40.
Hence, the correct answer is 40.
