B Correct answer
Explanation

There are 2 black kings (King of Spades and King of Clubs) in a deck of 52 cards. Probability = 2 / 52 = 1 / 26.

AI explanation

A pack of 52 cards contains exactly 2 black kings, one of spades and one of clubs. The probability of drawing a black king is the number of black kings divided by the total number of cards. By dividing 2 by 52, we get 2/52, which simplifies to 1/26.
