A Correct answer
Explanation

There are 52 cards in a deck. There are two red suits (hearts and diamonds), and each has one queen. Thus, there are 2 red queens. The probability is 2/52, which simplifies to 1/26.

AI explanation

The probability of drawing the red queen equals the number of red queens divided by the total cards. In a 52 card deck, there are 2 red queens: one of hearts and one of diamonds. The probability is 2 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1/26. The probability is 1/26.
