Answer:

c: 21/205

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a yellow marble first is 12/41 bc there are 12 yellow marbles and 41 marbles to choose from.

The probability of choosing a red marble is 14/40 bc there are 14 red marbles and 40 marbles to choose from( since you have removed the marble you first chose so there are 40 marbles left).

Multiplying these two together, 12/41 * 14/40 = 168/1640, simplified it's 21/205.
