A
1.960
B
2.145
C
2.131
D
2.120
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Conclusion: The critical value for a 95% confidence interval based on a sample size of 20 is t/2=2.093.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since the sample size is 24 and thus below 30, we will use Student’s t distribution to find the critical value. Thus the critical value is ±2.069 .
