A and B are two events. Which statement about the conditional probability is true?

A. The conditional probability of event B given event A is P(B|A)=P(A and B)/P(A) when two events are not independent.
B. The conditional probability of event B given event A is P(B|A)=P(B) when two events are not independent.
C. The conditional probability of event B given event A is P(B|A)=P(B)/P(A) when two events are independent.
D. The conditional probability of event B given event A is P(B|A)=P(A)/P(B) when two events are independent.

the answer
by using fundamental definition
The conditional probability of event B given event A is P(B|A)=P(A and B)/P(A) when two events are not independent.
so the only true answer is A, because P(B|A)=P(A) if A and B are independents
