The property required for using the binomial distribution is that the number of trials (in this case, the number of personal computers that could require repair) should be fixed. Option A states that the number of personal computers the company owns on a given day is fixed, which satisfies this requirement. Options B, C, and D are either unrelated or do not pertain to this specific property required for using the binomial distribution.
