Answer:

The correct answer would be option D, Events in which neither event is dependent upon the other.

Explanation:

Mutually exclusive events are the events which cannot occur at the same time. If there are two events, then in mutually exclusive situation, both events can not happen at the same time. One event will happen at a time. Mutually exclusive events are also called disjoint. Both events are not dependent upon one another. The occurrence of one event would not change the occurrence of the other event. The most appropriate and suitable example of mutually exclusive events is the tossing of a coin. Either tails will come or heads. Both events can't happen at the same time, and also not both events are dependent upon each other.
