We know that if events A and B are independent,
\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})
From the definition of the independent Event,
\\\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \mid \mathrm{B})=\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})}$ \\$P(A)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$ \\$P(A \cap B)=P(A) \cdot P(B)

Option C is correct.
