C Correct answer
Explanation

A die has 6 faces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6. Probability = 2/6 = 1/3.

AI explanation

When a single die is thrown, the total number of possible outcomes in the sample space is 6. The favorable outcomes for getting a number greater than 4 are rolling a 5 or a 6, which gives 2 favorable outcomes. Using the classical definition of probability, the required probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total outcomes, which is 2 divided by 6. This simplifies to 1/3, making the result 1/3.
