The example that represents a discrete data constraint with viable solutions is:

C. Number of tests passed

Discrete data consists of countable values, and "number of tests passed" refers to a count of tests, which can only take on whole number values (0, 1, 2, etc.). In contrast, the other options involve continuous data (like weight or distance) or averages, which do not represent discrete counts.
