Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The correct notation for the probability of event A given event B is P(A|B). This represents the probability of event A occurring, given that event B has already occurred. Therefore, choice C is the best choice. Choices A and B represent the probabilities of both events occurring together or either event occurring, respectively, without considering their relationship to each other. Choice D represents the probability of event B occurring given that event A has already occurred, which is not what is being asked in the question.
