Standardization refers to the process of establishing uniform testing procedures and norms for administering intelligence tests. It includes establishing the performance average and the variability of the test scores. Normalization, on the other hand, refers to the process of establishing the norms of the test scores based on the characteristics of the population taking the test. This ensures that the test results are comparable across different groups of individuals. Therefore, choice C correctly distinguishes between standardization and normalization of intelligence tests.
