Answer:

c. number of throws of a single die to scored

Explanation:

The continuous probability distribution is constructed for a continuous random variable. The continuous variables are those that can be measured and cannot be counted. In the given problem electricity consumption in kilowatts per hour, heights of people and speed of a car are continuous variables because they all are measurable. The number of throws of a single can be counted and so, it is a discrete variable. Thus, the number of throws of a single die to scored don't follow a continuous probability distribution.
