Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
An event is a collection of one or more simple events, meaning it is not necessarily a single outcome like a simple event, but rather a group of possible outcomes. Option A is incorrect because an event can be controlled by the decision maker. Option B refers to the sample space, which is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment. Option D is incorrect because events can consist of just one simple event. Option E is not a valid choice as there must be a correct answer.
