Answer:

a.heights of students in a class

Explanation:

A normal distribution has following properties:

Normal distributions are symmetric and it has a bell shape graph and and the mean, median, and mode are all equal.

The shirt prices in a sale can be of the same price. The student grades can also be almost same in an easy test and the cost of similar kind of houses will have similar rates.

So, only height of students in a class are not same and they are continuous in nature.

So. the answer is option a.heights of students in a class,
