Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution: Calculate the number of favorable cards and divide by 52.

  • Number of diamonds = 13.

  • Number of kings = 4.

  • Overlap (king of diamonds) counted in both groups = 1, so subtract it once.

  • Total favorable cards = 13 + 4 - 1 = 16.

  • Probability = 16/52 = 4/13.

Final answer: 4/13.
