It is asking
The means of the samples of which of the following populations 

in other words,  we take a (large) sample from the population and calculate the mean of that sample. Do that many times and plot a histogram of the means.

According to the central limit theorem,  even skewed "parent populations" from which we draw the samples  will generate  a normally distributed mean.
