D Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of a sum x from 2 dice depends on the value of x. Since x is not defined in the problem statement, we cannot determine the probability or compare it to 2.

AI explanation

When two dice are rolled, a probability of 1/36 for a sum x occurs when there is only 1 combination that forms that sum. The only sums with exactly one combination are 2, represented by (1,1), and 12, represented by (6,6). Since x could be either 2 or 12, it can be equal to 2 or greater than 2. The relationship cannot be determined.
