Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Classification of Events** In probability theory, events are classified based on whether they can be broken down into simpler events: - **Simple (Elementary) Event**: An event that cannot be subdivided further. It consists of a single outcome. - **Composite Event**: An event that can be subdivided into two or more simple events. It consists of two or more outcomes. For example, when a die is rolled: - Getting a "4" is a simple event (single outcome). - Getting an "even number" is a composite event (can be subdivided into getting 2, 4, or 6). The question states: "An event that can be subdivided into further events" — this exactly defines a **composite event**. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.

Exam Strategy Tip

Always draw a quick Venn Diagram or tree when faced with 'At least one' or 'Only A but not B' wording. It saves you from double-counting.
