Answer: C. What is the name of the main character in the Wizard of Oz?

Explanation:

Standardized intelligent test is geared towards measuring a variety of different functions such as judgement, comprehension, and reasoning.

The question "What is the name of the main character in the Wizard of Oz?" cannot give room for variety of different judgement and reasoning. Hence, it cannot be considered for a standardized intelligence test and should be eliminated.
