Suppose that at a certain time a quanton has the (unrealistic) wave function shown below.

If we were to perform an experiment to locate the quanton, what is the probability that the result will be $\geq 1 \mathrm{~nm}$ ? (Assume that $\psi(x)=0$ at all points outside the picture.)
A) $1 / 8$
B) $3 / 8$
C) $1 / 12$
D) $1 / 4$
E) $5 / 12$
