D Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of NOT getting a 6 on either die is (5/6) * (5/6) = 25/36. The probability of getting at least one 6 is 1 - 25/36 = 11/36.

AI explanation

Use the complement rule where the probability of an event equals one minus the probability of its complement. The total number of outcomes when rolling two dice is 36, and the number of outcomes without any 6 is 25. Therefore, the required probability is 1 minus 25/36, which equals 11/36.
