✓
Answer
None of the above is correct.
Solution:
If two events A and B are independent, then we know that
$\text{P}(\text{A}\cap\text{B})=\text{P}(\text{A})\cdot\text{P}(\text{B}),\text{P}(\text{A})\neq0,\text{P}(\text{B})\neq0$
Since, A and B have a common outcome.
Further, mutually exclusive events never have a common outcome.
In other words, two independents events having non-zero probabilities of occurrence cannot be mutually exclusive and conversely, i.e., two mutually exclusive events having non-zero probabilities of outcome cannot be independent.
