Lola tossed a coin twice. She made a tree diagram to show the possible outcomes. Which tree diagram shows the sample space for two tosses of a coin?

A
Image with description A tree diagram that shows the outcomes of the first toss as H for Heads and T for Tails. Then, extending from each of these outcomes, there are two branches, one for Heads and one for Tails. H branches to H and T, and T branches to H and T.
B
Image with description A tree diagram that shows the outcomes of the first toss as two Heads. Then extending from each of these two Heads, there are two branches that represent the second toss, one for Heads and one for Tails. H branches to H and T.
C

Hannah and Corrine are playing a game by rolling two cubes, each numbered 1 through 6. If the sum of the numbers on the cubes is 7, Hannah wins. If the sum is not 7, Corrine wins. Corrine says Hannah can win only if the following occurs: 1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube 2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube 3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube Which best explains if Corrine is correct?

A
Corrine is correct because there are no 7s on the cubes, so Hannah must roll a greater number on the second cube.
B
Corrine is not correct because Hannah can also roll doubles on the cubes, such as 3 on the first cube and 3 on the second cube or 4 on the first cube and 4 on the second cube.
C
Corrine is correct because there are only three ways to have a sum of 7 when the cubes are rolled.
D
Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.
