#### Solution

All possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH and TT.

​Total number of outcomes = 4.

Getting 2 heads means getting HH.

Numbers of favourable outcomes = 1.

∴ P(getting 2 heads) = ("Number of favourable outcomes")/"Number of all possible outcomes"

= 1/4

Thus, the probability of getting 2 heads is 1/4.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
