Answer 1

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

number of tests passed

This is because the number of tests passed can only take on specific whole number values (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), making it discrete data. The other examples represent continuous data, as they can take on a range of values.
