Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

It is given that the total area of a dartboard is 10,000 mm² and the area of the bull's-eye is 600 mm².

The probability of getting a bull's-eye is


P=\frac{\text{The total area of a dartboard}}{\text{The area of the bull's-eye}}


P=(600)/(10000)


P=(6)/(100)


P=0.06

Multiply the probability by 100 to find the probability %.


P=0.06* 100=6\%

The probability of getting a bull's-eye is 6%.

Therefore the correct option is B.
