Answer: B. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 since there are 3 odd numbers between 1 and 6 (1, 3, 5). The probability of flipping a coin and getting tails is 1/2 since you can either get heads or tails. With this knowledge, you must multiply these two probabilities to get the probability of getting an odd number AND tails; so, 3/6 x 1/2 = 3/12 = 1/4.
