Step1: Determine coin outcomes

A coin has 2 possible outcomes (heads, tails).

Step2: Determine cube outcomes

A number cube (die) has 6 possible outcomes (1–6).

Step3: Apply multiplication principle

Total outcomes = coin outcomes × cube outcomes = \( 2 \times 6 = 12 \).

Answer:

A. 12 possible outcomes
