We can use the formula for z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where z is the z-score, x is the value we want to standardize (in this case $95,500), μ is the mean ($92,000), and σ is the standard deviation ($32,845).

Plugging in the values, we get:

z = (95,500 - 92,000) / 32,845 = 0.107

Rounding to two decimal places, we get z = 0.11.

Therefore, the answer is C) 0.11.
