Explanation / Answer

(a) The number of fish caught during the tournament is of the type 0, 1, 3 etc.
This means The random variable is discrete. The possible values are x>=0 (Option B)

(b) The amount of smowfall can be 0.1, 0.2, etc
This means The random variable is countinuous. the possible values are s>=0 (Option C)
