Final Answer : D, Explanation :  To find the average value, you add up all the scores and divide by the total number of scores. Adding up the scores, we get 97 + 89 + 85 + 82 + 80 = 433. Dividing by the total number of scores (5), we get 433/5 = 86.6. Therefore, the average value is 86.6, which is closest to choice D.
