Use this

$( ".data" ).change(function() {
    var Id =  $(this).find('option:selected').data("id")
    alert("id:  "+Id);
});

Your select element doesn't have data attributes. You need to find the child option of select then you can use .data()

Use

var Id = $(this).find('option').data("id");
//For selected option
//var Id = $(this).find('option:selected').data("id");

this refers to element which invoked the handler, in current scenario it will be select

Try this.

$(document).on('change', '.data', function (){

    var id = $(this).find('[value="'+$(this).val()+'"]').data('id');
    alert(id);
});
