Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In a standard normal distribution, a z-score of +1 is one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 34% of scores lie between the mean and a z-score of +1, and since about 50% of scores are below the mean, adding these percentages gives us 84% of scores falling below a z-score of +1.
