For $|\psi\rangle=|00\rangle$, independence of the product state gives
$$
P_\psi(A,B)=\frac14,
\qquad
P_\psi(C,A)=\frac14.
$$
For the remaining pair,
$$
P_\psi(B,C)
=\left(\frac14\right)\left(\frac14\right)
+\left(\frac34\right)\left(\frac34\right)
=\frac58.
$$
Therefore
$$
\boxed{P_\psi(A,B)+P_\psi(B,C)+P_\psi(C,A)=\frac98\geq1.}
$$
