ADependent
BIndependent
CExclusive
DImpossible
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Independent
1. Putting the item back leaves the collection exactly as it was.
2. So the first pick cannot change the chances for the second pick.
3. Picks made that way are independent, while picking without replacing makes them dependent.
