Explanation / Answer

A)

a event is unlikely if its probability is close to zero

here the event of 149 births as girls has a very small binomial probability tending to zero so option B is correct.

B)

A EVENT IS UNUSUAL IF ITS PROBABILTY IS LESS THAN 0.05. a probability less than 5% is unusual

so clearly this event is unusual option A is correct
