D Correct answer
Explanation

When 3 coins are tossed, there are 2^3 = 8 possible outcomes. Only one outcome (T, T, T) results in 3 tails. Thus, the probability is 1/8.

AI explanation

When 3 coins are tossed, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 cubed, which equals 8. Getting 3 tails is exactly 1 specific outcome out of these 8 possibilities. Therefore, the required probability is 1/8.
