11.Consider an experiment that involves repeatedly rolling a six-sided die. Which of the following is a binomial random variable?

A) The sum of the numbers observed on the first six rolls.

B) The number of rolls until a "4" is rolled for the first time.

C) It is not possible to have a binomial random variable when rolling a six-sided die because a binomial random variable allows only two possible outcomes, not six.

D) The number of times that a "4" is rolled when the die is rolled six times.
