The correct answer is

35-50

Intellectual disability (earlier called mental retardation) is classified by severity using IQ ranges given in DSM-IV and ICD-10.

The standard ranges are: mild 50–55 to about 70; moderate 35–40 to 50–55; severe 20–25 to 35–40; profound below 20–25. A person with moderate retardation therefore has an IQ of roughly 35 to 50.

70–90 covers the borderline and low-average range, 60–70 lies within mild retardation, and 20–35 corresponds to the severe level. Individuals in the moderate range can usually acquire self-care and simple work skills under supervision.

Hence, the answer is 35-50.
