B Correct answer
Explanation

There is only one '2' of spades in a standard 52-card deck.

AI explanation

A standard deck contains 52 uniquely identified cards, meaning the total number of possible outcomes is 52. Since there is only one specific card that is the 2 of spades, there is exactly 1 favorable outcome. Dividing the 1 favorable outcome by the 52 total outcomes gives a probability of 1/52.
