Does each flip rely on another flip at all? If so, it is dependent. If not it is independent.

The odds are 1/2 for the first flip, 1/2 for the second, 1/2 for the third. You must multiply them together to get the odds. (1/8). The flips do not rely on one another so it is independent. The answer is B.
