A)The area between 36.5 and 37.5
B)The area between 37 and 37.5
C)The area between 36.5 and 37
D)The area between 36.5 and 38.5

The continuity correction is used when approximating a discrete binomial distribution with a continuous normal distribution. For the probability of exactly 37 green marbles, you would look at the area between 36.5 and 37.5 to include the entire interval that rounds to 37.
