D.
It is more likely to be tails.

Answer 1

The answer is A

Explanation:

It doesn't matter which side the coin landed on in the previous flips. The coin only has 2 sides, heads and tails. Therefore, when it's flipped the 6th time, there is a 50% chance it will land on heads, and a 50% chance that it will land on tails. The answer is A.
