Final answer:

It is not possible for 60% of the scores to be above the mode in a distribution of scores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that cannot be true for a distribution of scores is D. 60% of the scores are above the mode.

In a distribution, the mode represents the most frequently occurring score or value. Therefore, it is not possible for 60% of the scores to be above the mode because the mode would be one of the higher values in the distribution.
