This question evaluates understanding of the concept of standard deviation and its interpretation. It requires knowledge of how standard deviation relates to the spread of scores in a distribution. This is important for educators in understanding the variability of student performance and making informed decisions based on assessment data.

This question is based on Bruner’s three-stage theory of knowledge development (enactive, iconic, and symbolic). The correct answer is (c) because Mrs. Domingo used concrete examples (pizza, wooden models), transitioning to abstract symbols like written fractions, fulfilling Bruner's model.

Standard Scores are used to indicate a student's position relative to others within the same distribution, especially when data is measured on an interval or ratio scale. Therefore, the correct answer is "Standard Scores."
