D Correct answer
Explanation

There are 6 balls in the bag, each with a distinct weight. The probability of drawing any specific ball, including the 3 kg ball, is 1 divided by the total number of balls.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. There is only 1 favorable ball (the 3 kg ball) out of a total of 6 balls. Therefore, the required probability is 1 divided by 6.
