An outboard motor on a boat has a cord to pull to start it. Advertisements boast that the motor "Starts on the first pull, every time!” In reality, the motor has a 95% chance of starting on each pull. A customer wants to know how many times he will have to pull the cord to start the motor. Is it appropriate to use the geometric distribution to calculate probabilities in this situation?

Yes, the geometric distribution is appropriate.
No, since each trial is not independent of the other trials.
No, because it is not looking for the first occurrence of success.
No, since the probability of success is not the same for each of the trials.
