Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Standard score is a statistical term

The standard score tells you that what is the distance between the mean and the value(that is the score)

It is also called as a z-score.

So if a score is closer to the mean of all the scores then it's standard score will be lesser and so on.

If everyone does poorly on a test, the score distribution will curve up to fit around the average score on the test.
