    b. 120.

    Explanation:

    Intelligence test is defined as a psychological test that is prepared to determine the mental capacity to make abstractions, to learn, and to deal with novel situations.

    In other words, it is a test that is desgined to measure level of intelligence.

    Scores may be presented as an IQ (intelligence quotient), as a mental age, or on a scale.

    Hence, Wechsler intelligence tests which was developed by a clinical psychologist David Wechsler are a widely used series of intelligence tests, designed to examine specific and overall cognitive capabilities and is individually administered to young kids, adolescents and adults between ages 6-89.

    Hence, the IQ was originally calculated as the ratio of a person's mental age to his chronological (physical) age, multiplied by 100.

    In this case, Demetrius age is 10 years, and has a mental age of 12years (this means that, he performed on the test at the level of an average 12-year-old), then the IQ is measured as 12/10 * 100 = 120

    Hence, answer is 120.
