C Correct answer
Explanation

Average response time = (5 + 1 + 3 + 3) / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3 seconds. Individual response times are: 5, 1, 3, 3. Only the first job (response time 5) is greater than the average (3). Jobs 2, 3, and 4 have response times of 1, 3, and 3 respectively - none exceed the average of 3. Therefore, exactly 1 job has a response time greater than the average.
