Since A and B are independent, the probability of A occurring is not affected by the occurrence of B. Therefore, none of the provided choices correctly represents P(A) under the condition of independence. Specifically, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B), P(B|A) = P(B), and P(A)/P(B) does not represent P(A) directly.
