Intraindividual variation refers to differences in performance within the same individual across different tasks or subjects. Option A best illustrates this concept by showing that Freda performs well in one subject (math) but not in another (spelling). The other options compare the performance of different individuals or compare an individual to a larger group, which do not demonstrate intraindividual variation.
