I think the right option is A.

This is the normal distribution curve for this mean and standard deviation μ=8 and σ=4

Since the area under the curve from μ-3σ(-4 here) to μ(8) is 0.5 hence P(x≤5) will be even smaller but will not be zero. Hence option A is correct.

P(x<=5)= (5-8)/4= -3/4= -0.75

probability cant be negative= B is ans
