Answer:

d. each trial has exactly two outcomes whose probabilities do not change

Explanation:

A binomial experiment is one where there are exactly two outcomes for each trial and probability for getting success is constant in each trial.

In other words, each trial is independent of the other.

The trials need not be continuous nor time between trials to be constant.

Since trials are to be independent, each trial cannot influence the next.

Only option d is right.

d. each trial has exactly two outcomes whose probabilities do not change

Examples are tossing of coins, throwing dice, drawing cards or balls with replacement, etc
