A Correct answer
Explanation

There are two 10s of black suits (10 of Spades, 10 of Clubs) in a deck of 52 cards. Probability = 2/52 = 1/26.

AI explanation

The classical definition of probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. A standard deck has 52 cards, and there is only one 10 of spades and one 10 of clubs, meaning there are exactly 2 favorable outcomes. The probability is 2 divided by 52, which simplifies to 1/26.
