Solution

The correct option is D

91216


Explanation for the correct option:

Finding the probability:

When three dice are thrown together, the total number of outcomes =63=216

The probability of not getting 5 on a single die =56

The probability of not getting 5 in all three dice =563=125216

Therefore,

Pgetting5onatleastonedie=1-theprobabilityofnotgetting5inallthreedice=1-125216=91216

Hence, the correct option is D.
