Since the scores are standardized, the scores will not change if they took the test again (eliminating option A). Since Jaime scored lower than Gina, it means that her score is at a lower percentile (choosing option B). There is not enough information to determine how many questions each got right or how their scores rank against everyone else (eliminating options C and D).
