    Option D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring.

    Probability = the number of ways of achieving success / the total number of possible outcomes

    For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it being heads is ½, because there is 1 way of getting a head and the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (a head or tail). We write P (heads) = ½.

    The probability of something which is certain to happen is 1.

    The probability of something which is impossible to happen is 0.

    The probability of something not happening is 1 minus the probability that it will happen.

    By definition we can see that probability lies between 0 and 1 only both inclusive

    Hence option D is right.
