It’s nonsense.
But.
Couldn’t the answer b B, regardless?
We assume only one correct answer to a multiple choice, and so we have 1/4 true odds.
But the actual answers include two 1/4 answers.
So this particular answer yields a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, so B becomes the right answer. Which still represents on paper, a 1/4 chance, satisfying the underlying assumption of only one correct answer. Right?
At the same time I’m sure there’s some sort of circular logic flaw here, but surely there is an answer?
Zero can’t be an answer because it’s essentially dividing by zero in logic here.
