C Correct answer
Explanation

A standard deck has 52 cards. There are 6 black face cards (3 spades and 3 clubs, each having a Jack, Queen, and King). The probability is 6/52, which simplifies to 3/26.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the required chance is the number of black face cards divided by the total number of cards. A standard deck has 52 cards, and the black face cards (jacks, queens, and kings of spades and clubs) total 6. The probability is therefore 6 divided by 52, which simplifies to 3/26.
