B
\(\frac{5}{36}\)
C
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
D
\(\frac{7}{36}\)
correct option: b
\(\begin{array}{c|c} & & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \ \hline a & 1 & 1, 1 & 1, 2 & 1, 3 & 1, 4 & 1, 5 & 1, 6\\hline & 2 & 1,1 & 2, 2 & 2, 3 & 2, 4 & 2, 5 & 2, 6 \\hline B & 3 & 3, 1 & 3, 2 & 3, 3 & 3, 4 & 3, 5 & 3, 6\\hline & 4 & 4 , 1 & 4, 2 & 4, 3 & 4, 4 & 4, 5 & 4, 6\\hline Die & 5 & 5, 1 & 5, 2 & 5, 3 & 5, 4 & 5, 5 & 5, 6 \\hline & 6 & 6, 1 & 6, 2 & 6, 3 & 6, 4 & 6, 5 & 6, 6\end{array}\)
Probability of obtaining total score of 8 = \(\frac{5}{36}\)
