    The closeness of the scores to the mean value is reflected through the values of the standard deviation. The smaller the value of standard deviation, the closer are the individual values to the mean. Therefore, since Mrs. Rijo's class has the smallest value for the standard deviation, her class has the closest individual score to the mean. The answer is the fourth choice.
