Solution

The total number of outcomes when three dice are rolled is 666 = 216.

When we roll three identical dice, the number of favorable outcomes is 6 (i.e., (1,1,1), (2,2,2), (3,3,3), (4,4,4), (5,5,5), (6,6,6)).

So, the probability that the same number will appear on each of them is 6/216 = 1/36.

Therefore, the answer is (c) 1/36.
