Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
According to the formula developed by William Stern, IQ = mental age/chronological age x 100. If Shawna's IQ score is 92, it means her mental age is lower than her chronological age. Therefore, her chronological age is greater than her mental age, indicating Option D. Option A cannot be determined from the given information, Option B is unlikely as the calculation was mentioned to be done using the formula, and option C is ruled out as the IQ score is less than 100, indicating a lower mental age compared to the chronological age.
