Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The typical minimum IQ score required to qualify for a gifted program in schools is around 130 or higher, as this indicates the student is in the top 2% of the population in intellectual ability. Scores of 115-129 are typically considered above average, but not necessarily gifted. Scores below 115 are considered average or below average. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
