Under given condition, 


    P(a<= X <= b) = 1,


assuming that  a < b.


Moreover, this word of the condition  " . . . UNIFORMLY . . . " is  EXCESSIVE:


    The answer is  THE SAME  even if X distributed non-uniformly between "a" and "b".



All other optional answers are FALSE.

If, of course, b - a =/= 1.

If (b - a) = 1, then the fourth optional answer is correct, too.
