C Correct answer
Explanation

A die has 6 faces: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Even numbers are {2, 4, 6}. Probability = 3/6 = 1/2.

AI explanation

The classical definition of probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes. A die has six faces, and the favorable even numbers are 2, 4, and 6. The probability is 3 divided by 6, which is 1/2. The probability of getting an even number is 1/2.
