C Correct answer
Explanation

When a standard die is thrown once, there are 6 equally likely outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6). The numbers 'between 2 and 6' (excluding endpoints) are 3, 4, and 5 - that's 3 favorable outcomes. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2. Option C is correct. Option B (2/6) would be incorrect, and option A (1) is impossible for probability.

AI explanation

On a standard six-sided die, the numbers strictly between 2 and 6 are 3, 4, and 5 — three favorable outcomes out of six equally likely faces. That gives a probability of 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.
