D is the closest answer. Maybe nice to put an E, where E is all are equally probable and improbable. :)

Equally probably of getting a head or a tail ach time as each flip is 50/50 and the number of flips has nothing to do with the outcome of each individual flip.

D. Although we tend to think that the previous results change the odds (like getting many heads in a row will increase the odds of getting a tails) the odds are the same every time, 50/50. Even if one of the answers was HHHHHHHHHH it is still just as probable

d because the order of flips doesn't count as much as the number does, and all of the above answers have 5 Hs and 5Ts! 5/10 = 5/10 so it's 50/50 chance!

You will have a 50 / 50 chance of getting heads or tails. The order in which each side turns up is not predictable., however.

theoretically: it is 50/50, doesn't matter what order they land in.
reality: flip a coin and find out.
