Solution

The answer is c. has a positive discriminating power.

Here's why:

  1. The upper group typically refers to the group of students who perform better on the test overall. They are the high scorers.

  2. If more students from the upper group got test item #12 correct, it means that this question is doing a good job of discriminating between students who have a good understanding of the material (the upper group) and those who don't.

  3. Therefore, the test item has a positive discriminating power. It's effectively distinguishing between different levels of understanding or ability among the students.

So, the correct answer is "c. has a positive discriminating power".
