Almost sure convergence implies convergence in probability, so part (b) identifies the limit as a constant c almost surely. For each ϵ>0, the events An​={∣Xn​−c∣>ϵ} are independent. Almost sure convergence gives Pr(An​ infinitely often)=0. If their probability sum diverged, the second Borel-Cantelli lemma would instead give probability one. Hence the sum is finite for every ϵ, proving almost sure convergence implies complete convergence for independent sequences.
