b
Since the original observations are distinct, a bootstrap sample has no repeated value precisely when it contains all n original values once. Of the nn equally likely ordered resamples, n! are permutations without repetition. Therefore
P(at least one repeated value)=1−nnn!​.​

The probability is zero for n=1 and rapidly approaches one as n grows.
