Answer:

D. 2

Explanation:

The only possible outcomes that Janessa could possibly calculate would be 5 and 6. This is because a single die has 6 possible outcomes. If Janessa's friends rolled a 3 and a 4, and Janessa needs to roll something higher, then the only higher possible outcomes would be a 5 or a 6. Meaning that Janessa can only use a total of 2 desired outcomes for her to actually win the game.
