I'm just glad the question didn't ask about the odds of a coin landing on its edge. That would really twist my brain into a pretzel!

This is a straightforward probability question. The chances of a coin landing on heads are always 50%, or one-half, or 0.5. Anyone who's taken a basic statistics course should know this.

B and C are both valid ways to express the chances of a coin landing on heads. As long as you understand that it's a 50/50 probability, you're good to go.
