Notice that $X_n(k) \geq 0$ for any $0 \leq k \leq n$ and $p \in [0,1]$. Now by the binomial theorem, $$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} a^k b^{n-k}.$$ Take $a = p$ and $b = 1-p$ to get $$1 = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} = \sum_{k=0}^n X_n(k).$$ So $X_n(k) \geq 0$ and they add up to $1$, hence they must all be between $0$ and $1$. And from your earlier question you already know that if $X_n \in [0,1]$ then $E[|X_n|] \leq 1$.
