(C) 24 oz to 28 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Since here it is given that "the distribution of weights of cartons of large eggs is approximately normal with mean 26 ounces (oz) ".

It means that the mean weight of the cartoon is approximately 26.

It is only possible in interval 24 oz to 28 oz. And rest are either smaller than 26 or greater than 26. Hence, only option (C) is correct.
