The rank-order method involves ranking the scores from lowest to highest and assigning a rank to each score. If there are tied scores, the average rank is assigned to each tied score.

So, the ranking for the given scores would be:
4 - rank 1
25 - rank 2.5 (average of ranks 2 and 3)
25 - rank 2.5 (average of ranks 2 and 3)
100 - rank 4

Therefore, the transformed scores would be:
4 - rank 1 - transformed score 1
25 - rank 2.5 - transformed score 2.5
25 - rank 2.5 - transformed score 2.5
100 - rank 4 - transformed score 4

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 1, 2.5, 2.5, 4.
