C Correct answer
Explanation

Total balls = 6 + 4 + 8 = 18. White balls = 8. Not white balls = 18 - 8 = 10. Probability = 10 / 18 = 5/9.

AI explanation

The bag contains 6 red, 4 green, and 8 white balls, giving a total of 18 balls. The probability of not picking a white ball means picking either a red or green ball, which is a total of 10 balls. Using the basic probability formula, the required probability is 10/18, which simplifies to 5/9.
