Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Alternative Name for Normal Distribution** The normal distribution is also widely referred to as the **Gaussian distribution**. - It is named in honor of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, who derived its equation from the study of errors of observations and developed many of its properties (although Abraham de Moivre first introduced it). - Binomial and Poisson distributions are distinct, discrete probability distributions and are not alternative names for the normal distribution. Thus, Gaussian distribution corresponds to Option A. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
