The z-table provides the area to the left of a given z-score. To find the area above (beyond) z = +0.89, we need to subtract the area to the left of z = +0.89 from 1. 
Using the z-table, the area to the left of z = +0.89 is 0.8147. 
Subtracting from 1, we get 1 - 0.8147 = 0.1853, which is closest to 0.1867 (option B).
