    A. Discrete

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have been given a statement as: The number of calls received between 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. by a technical support professional. We are asked to determine whether the variable is discrete or continuous.

    We know that discrete variable is a variable that can take on finite number of values. An example of discrete variable is performance rated fro 1 to 5 scale.

    Discrete variable takes independent values.

    The continuous variable is a variable that has an infinite number of values between any two values. Examples of continuous variable are: Time spent in waiting, water consumed etc.

    Since the number of calls received between 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. by a technical support professional is quantitative and independent, therefore, the given variable is discrete.
