Solution:

Concept:

The classical definition requires a finite sample space with equally likely outcomes.

Explanation:

The classical definition of probability is limited because it can only be applied when the total number of elementary events is finite and when these events are equally likely.

These two conditions (options A and B) are necessary for the classical definition to hold.

Option C (mutual independence) is not a requirement of the classical definition.

Thus, the limitations are captured by both A and B.

(a)

and
