if I am correct, it would be C because there are only 2 sides on the coin, so you have a 50/50 chance of heads again or tails

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the probability of tossing heads and then tails. We are given that first toss already shows heads. So now we need to find the probability of second toss showing tail.

Since the coin has only two faces probability of head or tail in one toss = 1/2.

So the probability of tossing heads and then tails = 1/2

Option C is the correct answer.
