Answer:

A and C are discrete, B and D are continuous

Explanation:

A is continuous because the temperature of the air can be any possible temperature and every possible number in between.

B is discrete because the cost can only be an exact amount of money. It couldn't be 88.7 centers, for example.

C is continuous because the distance includes every possible measurement between 0 and the total number of miles.

D is the same as B.
