This looks like a straightforward question about equivalence partitions. I'll carefully review each set of values and determine which one has all the marks in different partitions.

Option A is a bit too easy, don't you think? I'm leaning towards C just to keep the exam writer on their toes. 35, 40, 59, and 69 - a real mix of Fail, Pass, and Merit.

I agree, option A is too easy. Let's go with C for a challenge.

Haha, I bet the exam writer had fun coming up with these tricky options. But I'm sticking with B - can't go wrong with the full range of partitions represented.

I'm going with D. The values are nicely spread out across the different partitions. Although, 39 and 40 being in different partitions seems a bit arbitrary, don't you think?

I think D is the best choice too. It covers all the different equivalence partitions.

I believe set C) 35, 40, 59, 69 fits the criteria because each value falls into a different category.

Yes, it's about dividing the input values into different groups based on their behavior.

Hmm, option B looks good. All the values are in different partitions - 0 for Fail, 45 for Pass, 79 for Merit, and 87 for Distinction. Nice and straightforward!
