The correct option is
C Daniel
The given table of data is:
The test scores are 78, 74, 87, and 45.
Let us compare the numbers by their place values.
Comparing the tens places, we find that Daniel's score is more.
Daniel's score is the first one in the descending order of data.
Next, on comparing John and Williams scores, we find that the tens digit places are same, while the ones digit place of John's score is greater than Williams'.
Alex's score is the least score among all.
Hence, the descending order must be 87, 78, 74, 45.
Therefore, Daniel's score comes first in the descending order of scores.
