C Correct answer
Explanation

When tossing 3 coins, there are 2^3 = 8 possible outcomes. The only outcome with 3 heads is (H, H, H), so the probability is 1/8.

AI explanation

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