The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates the impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

From the options given, we will have to test each of them to see if they fall within the definition

For option A

3.5 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For option B

35353535 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For option C

5.3 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

For Option D


53\text{ \% means }(53)/(100)
(53)/(100)=0.53

Since 0.53 falls between 0 and 1, it could be a probability

For Option E


530\text{ \% means }(530)/(100)

=>


(530)/(100)=5.3

5.3 is greater than 1, so it could not be a probability

Therefore, in conclusion

Options A, B, C and E could not be probability
