B is correct.

The Euler-Maclaurin formula is about integral approximation;
The Euclid-Euler theorem is about even perfect numbers (of note, Euler was born several millennia after Euclid)

Going on a tangent, you may have heard of the Sally Clark case.

What is it now occasionally used as an example of?

Answers
  1. Miscarriage of justice that led to a misuse of statistics
  2. Use of statistics to aid the rightful conviction of Clark
  3. Misuse of statistics that led to a miscarriage of justice
  4. Rightful conviction of Clark to aid the use of statistics

Correct!
Prosecutors misused statistics to arrest Clark of murdering her children.
Her conviction was eventually overturned but she never completely recovered from the miscarriage of justice and passed away from alcohol poisoning 4 years after.
