    The correct answer is P (S | C)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are limiting our interest to friends who like Chocolate only, so we condition on C. Out of the friends who like chocolate (C), we are interested in the probability of liking sprinkles (S). Therefore, we are interested in P (S | C).

    Thus, the correct answer of this is P (S | C) which means the last option is the correct option.
