Answer:

D. 7/3596

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 8 red out of 32 total blocks

1st choice:

  • probability of red= 8/32= 1/4

2nd choice, one removed and we have 7 red left out of 31 total blocks

  • probability of red= 7/31

3rd choice, 2 removed and we have 6 red left out of 30 total blocks

  • probability of red= 6/30= 1/5

4th choice, 3 removed and we have 5 red left out of 29 total blocks

  • probability of red= 5/29

Now, the probability of getting 4 red blocks is:

  • 1/4*7/31*1/5*5/29= 7/3596

Correct answer choice is the last one
