B Correct answer
Explanation

A fair coin has two outcomes, head and tail. The probability of getting a head is 1 favorable outcome out of 2 total outcomes, which is 1/2.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. A coin toss has 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails) and getting a head is 1 favorable outcome. Therefore, the required probability is 1 divided by 2, which is 1/2.
