    C. Greater than 0.75

    Explanation:

    Given

    Cu = $120

    Co = $360

    We know Probability P < = Cu / (Cu + Co)

    P = 120 / (120 + 360)

    = 120/480

    = 0.25

    P is the probability of unit is will not sold and 1-p is the probability of unit that will sold

    1 - p = 1 - 0.25

    = 0.75

    probability of the last unit being sold should be greater than 0.75
