Answer:
Choice C) 99% of the intervals constructed using this process based on same-sized samples from this population will include the population mean.

If we construct say 100 confidence intervals with the same sample size, then we should expect about 99 of them will contain the population parameter we're after.

A common mistake many students will do is to think that a 99% confidence interval means there's a 99% chance of finding the mean in the confidence interval boundaries. This is not the case.
