B Correct answer
Explanation

A standard deck has 52 cards, including 4 kings. The number of non-kings is 48, so the probability is 48/52 = 12/13.

AI explanation

Out of the 52 cards in the pack, 4 are kings, which means 48 cards are not kings. The probability of drawing a card that is not a king is the number of non-king cards divided by the total number of cards, calculated as 48/52. Simplifying this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 gives the result 12/13.
