Solution

The correct options are
A We get heads facing up
B We get tails facing up
When a coin is tossed, we either get heads or tails facing up. But we can't have a situation where both heads and tails face up. Also, a situation of getting neither heads nor tails, with the coin lying flat on the ground is impossible.
So, the correct options are A and B.
