Five-digit random numbers are used to simulate scores on each hole in an 18-hole round of golf. The correspondence between the random numbers and scores on each hole is chosen to be as follows. Use the following portion of a random numbers table starting with the highlighted number, and determine how many holes the simulated golfer made par or better (i.e., how many holes-in-one, eagles, birdies, and pars were obtained in the 18 holes). Use the highlighted number as the score on the first hole; work down a column moving from left to right, column to column as needed.
A) 11
B) 12
C) 13
D) 14
