Answer: B) The heights of girls who live on a certain street in the city of Buffalo

Every answer choice starts with "the heights of all 14-year-old girls who", so we can ignore that part. Choice A describes the largest population while choice B describes the smallest population. In other words, choice A is very general and broad, while choice B is very specific and narrow. The more specific you get and the smaller the population is, the less likely its going to be normally distributed.
