B Correct answer
Explanation

Original deck has 52 cards. One Jack of hearts is removed, leaving 51 cards. There are 4 Jacks total; one is gone, so 3 remain. Two are red (hearts, diamonds). Since the heart is gone, only the Jack of diamonds remains. Probability = 1/51.

AI explanation

After removing the Jack of hearts, 51 cards remain in the deck. The only remaining red Jack is the Jack of diamonds. The probability of drawing this specific card from the remaining 51 cards is 1/51. Therefore, the probability is 1/51.
