Solution

The correct option is A 1P(AB)
C is the event that exactly one of the following events:
A but not B
B but not A
Not B and Not A (Neither A nor B)
1 is the event AB or ABC
2 is the event BAor BAC
3 is the event BCAC (not B and not A) or (AB)C(not(AorB))

Observe that the events are mutually exclusive.
Hence,
P(C)=P(ABC)+P(BAC)+P(BCAC)
P(C)=P(ABC)+P(BAC)+P(BCAC)
P(C)=1P(AB)$
P(C)=1P(A)P(B)
