The correct option is C Uppercase letters
An event is any combination of outcomes. Uppercase letters like $A$ and $B$ represent events.

For example, if the experiment is to flip a coin fairly, event $A$ might be getting a head. The probability of an event $A$ is written $P (A)$ .

Therefore, option (c.) is the correct answer.
