B. T=winning time in the man's 100 meter dash at the 2016 Olympics

C. P=number of points scored by Stephen curry in a game

D.H=The number of hats sold on Tuesday
​

Answer 1

option A

Explanation:

because it is not limited to anything while option b is limited to the men's hundred meter dash and 2016, and to the Olympics

C is limited to one game and stephen curry

D is limited to tuesday

since option a isn't confined to one day, person, or specific event there can be endless numbers assigned to the variable

Answer 2

I assume it’s A because there will always be incoming flights at a local airport whereas the other options are limited and can’t be changed
