Answer 1

"Selecting a fruit from a basket without looking and replacing it until you get your desired fruit."

Reason: independence means one outcome doesn't change the probabilities of later outcomes. Replacing the fruit keeps the basket composition the same, so each draw has the same probabilities. The other choices remove fruits (no replacement), so later draws are affected by earlier ones (dependent).
