# Challenge - Find the most popular item

In this task, you need to do the following things:

- Load the `raw_data.csv` to the DataFrame object.
- Group data based on the `Item ID` column.
- Get the most popular item based on the count.
- Return the `Item ID` and the corresponding count of the most popular item.
