In this scenario, the probabilities of winning are not extreme, and the optimal strategy for the defense depends on the opponent's strategy. Therefore, there is no single dominant strategy for the defense. The best choice for the defense is to adapt their strategy based on the opponent's plays and adjust their defense accordingly. Defending both plays at random (option C) with equal probability may not be optimal for all situations, and in some cases, it may lead to costly mistakes. Consequently, the defense must be flexible and adjust their strategy depending on the game situation.
