D
three
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Moving further out into the tails of the curve, a score 2 s.d. above the mean is equivalent to a little lower than the 98th percentile, and 2 s.d. below the mean is equivalent to a little higher than the 2nd percentile.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the interval 3.1≤x≤7.0 is actually between one standard deviation below the mean and 2 standard deviations above the mean. In normally distributed data, about 34% of the values lie between the mean and one standard deviation below the mean, and 34% between the mean and one standard deviation above the mean.
