C Correct answer
Explanation

If the best marksman had scored 92, the total would be 8 * 84 = 672. His actual score was 7 points lower, so the team's actual total was 672 - 7 = 665.

AI explanation

If the best marksman had scored 92 points, the team's total score would be 8 multiplied by 84, which equals 672 points. Since the marksman actually scored 85 points, you must subtract the 7 extra points used in the hypothetical scenario from 672. The actual number of points the team scored is 672 minus 7, which equals 665.
