Let be the distribution function of . The limiting constant zero has distribution function for and for . For every , both and are continuity points of . Thus convergence in distribution implies and . Therefore
This proves
The same proof after subtracting a fixed real proves convergence in distribution to a constant implies convergence in probability. A deterministic limit fixes the coupling automatically; the counterexample in (c) exploits a nonconstant limit whose probability distribution alone does not fix that coupling.
