A) The area between 44 and 44.5
B) The area between 43.5 and 45.5
C) The area between 43.5 and 44
D) The area between 43.5 and 44.5

Since we are looking for the probability of getting exactly 44 green marbles, we can use the continuity correction and consider the range from 43.5 to 44.5. This is because the probability of getting exactly 44 marbles is the same as getting any value between 43.5 and 44.5 rounded to the nearest integer. Therefore, the best choice is D, which represents the area between 43.5 and 44.5 on the normal distribution.
