    Q1: Let $T$ be a distribution of finite order $0$. What is correct?

    A1: For every compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, we find a test function $\varphi$ with support in $K$ such that $$ | \langle T, \varphi \rangle | \leq | \varphi |_\infty$$

    A2: For every compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, there is a constant $c > 0$ such that every test function $\varphi$ with support in $K$ satisfies $$ | \langle T, \varphi \rangle | \leq c \cdot | \varphi |_\infty$$

    A3: For every test function $\varphi$ with support in $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, there is a constant $c>0$ such that $$ | \langle T, \varphi \rangle | \leq c \cdot | \varphi |_\infty$$

    A4: For every test function $\varphi$ and every constant $c>0$, we find a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $$ | c \cdot \langle T, \varphi \rangle | \leq | \varphi |_\infty$$

    A5: None of the other statements is correct.

    Q2: What is not correct for a regular distribution $T_f$?

    A1: $T_f$ is a distribution of finite order.

    A2: $T_f$ is a distribution of order $m = 0$.

    A3: $T_f$ is not a distribution of finite order.

    A4: $T_f$ can be represented by a complex Radon measure $\mu$.

    A5: $T_f$ is a distribution of order $m = 1$.

    Q3: Is the delta distribution a distribution of order $0$?

    A1: No, it’s not a regular distribution and, therefore, also not of finite order.

    A2: No, it’s only of order $1$.

    A3: Yes, it’s of finite order $0$.

    A4: No, because it cannot be represented by a complex Radon measure $\mu$.
