If intelligence is normally distributed, it implies that the majority of the population falls within the middle range of intelligence, i.e., moderate intelligence. Therefore, option B is correct as it states that there would be more people of moderate intelligence than of high or low intelligence. Option A and C are incorrect because both of them suggest that there would be more people of high intelligence than any other type, which is not supported by the normal distribution assumption. Option D is also incorrect as it implies that low intelligence would be the most prevalent type, which is also not supported by the normal distribution assumption.
