Solution

Step - 1: Calculating outcomes 

                  Favorable outcomes i.e., getting tail = 1

                  Total number of outcomes [H, T] = 2

Step - 2: Finding Probability,

                 The formula for probability = favorable outcometotal number of outcome

                  Required probability = 12

Hence , the required probability is (D) 12
