James conducted an experiment with 4 possible outcomes. He determined that the experimental probability of event A happening is 10 out of 50. The theoretical probability of event A happening is 1 out of 4. Which action is most likely to cause the experimental probability and theoretical probabilities for each event in the experiment to become closer?

a) removing the last 10 trials from the experimental data

b) completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done

c) including a fifth possible outcome

d) performing the experiment again, stopping immediately after each event occurs once
