D Correct answer
Explanation

A die has 6 outcomes, a coin has 2. Total outcomes = 6 * 2 = 12.

AI explanation

According to the fundamental principle of counting, if one event can occur in m ways and a second independent event can occur in n ways, the two events can occur together in m times n ways. Rolling a single die yields 6 possible outcomes, and tossing a single coin yields 2 possible outcomes. Multiplying these independent events gives 6 times 2, which equals 12 possible outcomes.
