A Correct answer
Explanation

There are 52 cards. There are 2 red kings (King of Hearts and King of Diamonds). Probability = 2/52 = 1/26.

AI explanation

The probability is calculated as the number of red kings divided by the total number of cards. In a 52-card deck, there are exactly 2 red kings, namely the king of hearts and the king of diamonds. The probability is 2 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1/26.
