A distribution with a three-way tie for the most frequently occurring score is considered trimodal, meaning it has three modes. A kurtotic distribution has a high peak and heavy tails, which is not necessarily the case in this scenario. Skewed distributions have a long tail on one side, which is also not described in the scenario. Therefore, the best choice is C, trimodal.
