A
PROBABILITY
B
EVENT
C
SAMPLE SPACE
D
SAMPLE POINT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment. When you toss a coin, there are only two possible outcomes-heads (h) or tails (t) so the sample space for the coin toss experiment is h, t .

Detailed explanation-2: -When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: a head (H) or a tail (T). The sample space of this experiment is S=[H, T].

Detailed explanation-3: -An event that consists of only one sample point is called a simple or elementary event.

Detailed explanation-4: -e.g. Tossing of a coin. The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is the sample space or the outcome space. A set of outcomes or a subset of the sample space is an event. Toss of a coin.
