Answer: The correct option is (A)
(1)/(4).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a specific event has the probability of
(3)/(4).

we are to find the probability that the event will not occur.

Let the given event be represented by E.

Then, we have


P(E)=(3)/(4).

The probability that the event E will not occur is represented by P'(E) and is defined by


P'(E)=1-P(E).

Therefore, we get


P'(E)=1-(3)/(4)=(4-3)/(4)=(1)/(4).

Thus, the required probability is
(1)/(4).

Option (A) is CORRECT.
