Please help! :( Was sick for a week now dying.

The tree diagram below shows all of the possible outcomes for flipping three coins.

A tree diagram has outcomes (H, H, H), (H, H, T), (H, T, H), (H, T, T), (T, H, H), (T, H, T), (T, T, H), (T, T, T).

What is the probability of one of the coins landing on tails and two of them landing on heads?
1/4
3/8
1/2 This is not correct I know because I got it wrong onn edge.
3/4
