**Core Concept**
The given statistics - mean (209), median (196), and mode (135) - indicate a specific type of distribution, which is crucial in understanding the data's characteristics and underlying patterns.

**Why the Correct Answer is Right**
In a normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all approximately equal. However, when the mean is significantly higher than the median and mode, it suggests a positively skewed distribution. In this case, the mean (209) is higher than the median (196) but lower than the mode (135) is not the case here, it's just the opposite. The mode (135) is the lowest value, the median (196) is in the middle, and the mean (209) is the highest value, which indicates a bimodal or a positively skewed distribution. However, if we consider the difference between the mean and median, and the mode being the lowest value, we should think of a distribution where the mean is shifted towards higher values but the mode is being pulled down by the values at the lower end. This is characteristic of a **bimodal distribution** or **positively skewed distribution** with a large number of values at the lower end pulling the mode down.

**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
**Option A:** This option is incorrect because a normal distribution would have a mean, median, and mode that are approximately equal. In this case, the mean is higher than the median, indicating a skewed distribution.

**Option B:** This option is incorrect because a negatively skewed distribution would have a mean lower than the median, which is not the case here.

**Option C:** This option is incorrect because a uniform distribution would have a mean, median, and mode that are all equal, which is not the case here.

**Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact**
In statistics, the mean, median, and mode are all important measures of central tendency, but they can be affected by the shape of the distribution. A positively skewed distribution, like this one, can indicate the presence of outliers or a non-normal distribution.

**Correct Answer: D. Bimodal/Positively Skewed Distribution**
