Option d. All of the above statements are correct of sampling distributions

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (a) is correct as the sample size (say n ≥ 30) is increases then our distribution tends to normal.

Option (b) is also correct as it is a good explanation of the sampling distribution of sample mean.

Option (c) is also a correct option because the mean of all possible samples of the sampling distribution is equal to population mean (μ).

Thus, All the above statements are correct.
