The text defines an experiment as an activity in which there are at least two possible outcomes and the result of the activity cannot be predicted with absolute certainty. Option A is incorrect because an activity with only one certain outcome is not considered an experiment. Option B is also incorrect because an activity with such great uncertainty that predictions cannot be made is not considered an experiment. Option D is incorrect because an experiment can have more than two possible outcomes.
