C Correct answer
Explanation

The six faces of the die are marked with the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. Among these letters, only A and E are vowels, making a total of 2 favorable outcomes. Since there are 6 possible outcomes in total, the probability of getting a vowel is 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3.

AI explanation

The theoretical probability of an event is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. Out of the six faces marked A, B, C, D, E, and F, the vowels are A and E. Thus, there are 2 favorable outcomes out of 6 total outcomes, giving a probability of 2/6 which simplifies to 1/3.
