Answer:

B. It is a favorable game.

Explanation:

We are given that,

Johnny is challenged to a single-player game with an expected value 1.

It is required to find the characteristic of the game.

Now, as we know that a game is:

1. Fair - If the expected value is 0

2. Favorable - If the expected value is greater than 0

3. Unfavorable - If the expected value is less than 0.

Since, according to the question, the expected value is 1 > 0. This means that the game is favorable.

Hence, option B is correct.
