Correct answer: D
In a perfect normal distribution, symmetry ensures that the Mean, Median, and Mode are identical at the center. Statistical definitions state that the median is equivalent to the 50th percentile, second quartile, and fifth decile. Therefore, all listed measures represent the same central value.
