If events A and B are mutually exclusive, then they cannot occur at the same time. Hence, the probability of A and B occurring together is 0. Therefore, the answer is A. If events A and B are mutually exclusive, it means they cannot both occur at the same time. Therefore, the probability of both occurring at the same time is 0, making choice A the best answer.
