The assumption in multiple regression is that the error terms (residuals) are normally distributed with a mean of zero and constant variance. Therefore, option B - Normal distribution - is the best choice. The other distributions listed - Binomial, Exponential, and Poisson - are not appropriate for error term residuals in a multiple regression model.
