\begin{gathered} Z-\text{score = }(X-X^i)/(\partial) \\ \text{Where X}^i=\operatorname{mean}\text{ and }\partial=\text{ standard deviation} \\ \text{From the information provided, } \\ X=68,X^i=64,\text{ }\partial=4 \\ Z-\text{score = }(68-64)/(4)\text{ = }(4)/(4)\text{ = 1} \end{gathered}

From the result, the correct answer is option A, that is the first option
