Options
A Non-negativity
B Probability of the Sample Space
C Multiplication Rule
Correct Answer
D Additivity for Disjoint Events
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Slide 7 lists the three axioms: Non-negativity, Probability of the Sample Space, and Additivity for Disjoint Events. The Multiplication Rule is a theorem derived from the definition of conditional probability, not an axiom.
