Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A teacher dropped 8 coins on the table and counted the number of tails to simulate the number of questions a student might guess correctly on a true/false quiz with 8 questions.

From the results shown through the dot plot.

Number of correct answers is most unlikely is 0 and 5

means either no wrong answer or 5 correct answers is most unlikely.

As it has 3 dots only i.e the least number of dots over one hundred trials received.

According to option, there are 5 correct answers which is most unlikely.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
