Answer:

Explanation:

0.001 means 1/1000

The answer depends on what is being described.

If you are putting money into a lottery if you got odds of 1 in a 1000, you'd jump for joy at such good odds.

If you are putting money into the stock market and the chances of getting any kind of return is 1/1000, I think you'd start looking for something else to do.

That said, I think the answer you want is B, but I'm not fond of the question.
