Consider a Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC) with probability of error being p. To transmit a bit, say 1, we transmit a sequence of three 1 s. The receiver will interpret the received sequence to represent 1 if at least two bits are 1. The probability that the transmitted bit will be received in error is
A. p3 + 3p2 (1- p)
B. p3
C. (1 - p)3
D. p3 + p2 (1 - p)
