Answer:

A. yes

Explanation:

The contestant has a 60% chance of winning because they could either spin 1, 3, or 5.

However, unless there's another player who can only spin evens, it's not fair, because the contestant who spins odds has a 60% chance, while this player will only have a 40% chance.
