    a) A

    b) B

    c) C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 9 different outcomes when 2 die are rolled.

    a) A & B : A has a higher chance of winning, i. e probability of 5/9

    (A, B) : (2,1) (9,1) (9,8) (9,6) (4,1)

    In other 4 possible outcomes, B will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)

    b) B & C: B has a higher chance of winning, i. e probability of 5/9

    (B, C) : (8,3) (8,7) (8,5) (6,3) (6,5)

    In other 4 possible outcomes, C will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)

    c) A & C: C has a higher chance of winning, i. e probability of 5/9

    (A, C) : (2,3) (2,7) (2,5) (4,7) (4,5)

    In other possible outcomes, A will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)
