Answer:

not choosing all mysteries

Explanation:

The complement of an event is the remaining possibilities.

Our event is Mariah choosing 3 mysteries.

The other possibilities include that she chooses at least one book that is not a mystery; this means the complement is not choosing all mysteries.
