Answer:

The correct option is;

c. Her score was better than those of 60% of all test takers

Explanation:

Percentile Score is the score of an exam or test candidate with regard to the relative performance of the other persons that took part in the exam or test.

The percentile score is calculated by converting candidates scores into a scale consisting of the scores of all candidates and ranging from 0 to 100

A 60th percentile score means that the student performed better than 60% of all the candidates of the test and 40% of the test takers scored the same as or better than the student.
