  1. choosing at random from four options = 25% chance of guessing correctly.
    25% = 1/4.
    1/4 appears in two of the four answer choices; prob(A) + prob(D) = 1/4+1/4 = 1/2
    so at random, you have a 1/2 or 50% chance of choosing 1/4 as the correct answer, so 1/2 is a valid correct answer choice if you were guessing correctly. So, choosing answer choice 1,2, or 4 would yield a correct answer. This means that you have all correct answer choices, so answer choice 3 is also valid. All are correct, but answer choice 3 is the best answer
