B Correct answer
Explanation

A coin has two sides, heads and tails. Assuming a fair coin, the probability of any specific side landing up is 1 divided by 2.

A standard coin flip yields two equally likely outcomes: heads or tails. Your team will start the game if exactly one specific side of the coin appears, making 1 the favorable outcome. The probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes, which is 1/2.
