It is given that a single die is used.

It is required to find the probability of rolling a number less than or equal to 6.

Recall that the probability of an event is given by the formula:


P=\frac{\text{ Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ Total number of possible outcomes}}

The sample space of a single die is:


\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\rbrace

Hence, the total number of possible outcomes is 6.

The numbers less than or equal to 6 are:


\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6\rbrace

Hence, the number of favorable outcomes is 6.

Substitute these values into the probability formula:


\Rightarrow P=(6)/(6)=1

The answer is D.
