The best situation to be modeled with a normal distribution is **"The birth weight of kittens at a veterinarian's office."**
Normal distributions are often used to model continuous data that tends to cluster around a mean (average) with a symmetric distribution of values. Birth weights, which can vary but generally fall within a certain range, typically fit this description well. The other options involve categorical or discrete data, which are not appropriate for normal distribution modeling.
