Option A) k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multimonial Experiment

A multimonial experiment is an experiment with n repeated trials and each trial has a discrete number of possible outcomes.

Binomial Experiment

Binomial experiment is an experiment with n repeated trials and each trial has only two possible outcomes.

Thus, if k represents the number of possible outcomes, then for k = 2, a multimonial experiment will become a binomial experiment.
