Answer 1

Answer:

D. Grades are given based on a student performance relative to others.

• It evaluates student achievement by ranking them against their classmates' performance.

• The highest score often sets the baseline (e.g., A+), and other grades are assigned proportionally.

• Commonly, percentages of students receive specific grades, such as top 10% get A, next 25% get B, etc.

• This system helps address differences in exam difficulty and classroom performance variability.
