The theoretical probability is always greater than the experimental probability. B. As the number of trials increase, the experimental probability gets closer to the theoretical probability. C. They are always very close to each other. D. The theoretical probability is always less than the experimental probability.

Theoretical probability and experimental probability are not always  equal to each other. In the cases of experimentation, the experimental probability do not exceed the theoretical probability. This is the same as the concept of yield in chemistry, where the actual yield is always less than the theoretical yield because of actual conditions that affects the experiment. Answer is A.
