Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates that the event will not occur, and 1 indicates that the event is certain to occur. It is a ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. Therefore, option C, "the likelihood that an outcome occurs," is the best choice.
