(D) The probability of $A$ winning a single game is $p = \frac{1}{1+2} = \frac{1}{3}$.The probability of $A$ losing a single game is $q = 1 - p = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$.Let $X$ be the number of games won by $A$ in $n=3$ games. $X$ follows a binomial distribution $B(n, p) = B(3, 1/3)$.The probability of $A$ winning at least two games is $P(X \ge 2) = P(X=2) + P(X=3)$.$P(X=2) = \binom{3}{2} p^2 q^1 = 3 	imes (\frac{1}{3})^2 	imes (\frac{2}{3}) = 3 	imes \frac{1}{9} 	imes \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{27}$.$P(X=3) = \binom{3}{3} p^3 q^0 = 1 	imes (\frac{1}{3})^3 	imes 1 = \frac{1}{27}$.$P(X \ge 2) = \frac{6}{27} + \frac{1}{27} = \frac{7}{27}$.
