Answer:

A. There is a 1/4 chance.

Explanation:

There are 8 outcomes if a coin is flipped 3 times.

Of these, 4 start with tails.

Since 4 is the denominator here, C (3/8) is out.

Also 4 doesn't have 3 as a factor, so B (1/3) is also out.

After the tails flip, two heads follow.

That's one of four of the combinations starting with tails (THH, THT, TTH, TTT, so D is out, leaving A as our answer! (We would need two for A to work)
