The correct answer is Choice D: 68%.

You have to make a tree diagram with all of the possibilities.

Here are the possibilities:

Rain - Win = 0.6 x 0.8 = 0.48
Rain - Loss = 0.6 x 0.2 = 0.12

No Rain - Win = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2
No Rain - Loss = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2

Adding up the two winning options gives us 68%
0.48 + 0.2 = 0.68
