what is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In recent years, there has been considerable discussion about the appropriateness of the body shapes and proportions of the Ken and Barbie dolls. These dolls are very popular, and there is some concern that the dolls may be viewed as having the "ideal body shape," potentially leading yound children to risk anorexis in pursuit of that ideal. Researchers investigating the dolls' body shapes scaled Ken and Barbie up to a common height of 170.18cm (5'7'') and compared them to body measurements of active adults. Common measures of body shape are the chest (bust), waist, and hip circumferences. These measurements for Ken and Barbie and their reference groups are presented in the table below. (I will post table in comments) Suppose that the researchers' scaled-up dolls suddenly found themselves in the human world of actual men and women. Convert Ken's chest, waist, and hips measurements to z-scores. Which of those measures appears to be the most differnt from Ken's reference group (human males)? Justify your response with an appropriate statistical argument.

I just don't know anything about z-scores and the labels on the chart confuse me because they do not appear consistent with the question.
