A)It is a continuous distribution.
B)It has a mean of zero.
C)It a symmetric distribution.

The t distribution differs from the z distribution when sample size n is small (typically less than 30), where the t distribution is wider and has more probability mass in the tails. Therefore, option D is not a characteristic of the t distribution. The other options are properties of the t distribution: it is continuous, has a mean of zero, and is symmetric.
