B Correct answer
Explanation

Initially 52 cards. 3 kings are removed. Remaining cards = 49. Remaining kings = 1. Probability = 1/49.

AI explanation

After drawing three kings from the deck, 49 cards remain in the pack and exactly one of those remaining cards is a king. The probability of selecting this remaining king on the next draw is the number of available kings divided by the total number of remaining cards. By dividing 1 by 49, the probability is 1/49. The result is 1/49.
