C Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of picking a black ball is 2/10 = 0.2. While 'unlikely' is a subjective description, in the context of probability questions, it is the only qualitative descriptor provided that fits a low probability event.

AI explanation

There are 10 balls in total, of which only 2 are black, making the chance of drawing a black ball equal to 2 out of 10. Since the probability is low, the event is unlikely to happen.
