Boys in particular, (though girls are not exempt from poor handwriting), will have “poor” penmanship pretty much all through elementary school and even into Jr High. And fractions are generally introduced at the end of the 3rd grade school year. And based on the question, that’s the likely grade level that test was created for.
I would bet that most of the students in that class got the answer correct because they were coached to read the question correctly-- to look for the fractions and simply compare them. And anyone else that didn’t, simply chose the wrong answer. Still, you will get a surprise answer like that every once in a while because kids are cool like that. It’s worth a chuckle as you move on.

That looks like my writing now, and I’m in my 30s.

As a very old lefty, I wish my handwriting looked that good.
