A
10 and 20
B
0 and 100
C
0 and 1
D
All Numbers are possible
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Probability is defined as a quantitative measure of uncertainty – a numerical value that conveys the strength of our belief in the occurrence of an event. The probability of an event is always a number between 0 and 1 both 0 and 1 inclusive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Between 0 and 1 The probability of an event will not be less than 0. This is because 0 is impossible (sure that something will not happen). The probability of an event will not be more than 1. This is because 1 is certain that something will happen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The probability of an impossible event is 0 and the probability of a certain event is 1. The range of possible probabilities is: 0 ≤ P ( A ) ≤ 1 . It is not possible to have a probability less than 0 or greater than 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -The probability of an event can only be between 0 and 1 and can also be written as a percentage.
