Solution

The correct option is A
True

Probability of an event is the sum of probabilities of outcomes associated with it. If we throw a die, to find the probability of an even number turns up, we will add the probability of 2, 4 and 6 (outcomes associated with it)

$\Rightarrow$ The given statement is correct.
