D Correct answer
Explanation

Total balls = 5 red + 3 green = 8. Probability of drawing a red ball = 5/8. Probability of not drawing a red ball = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.

AI explanation

The probability of an event not happening equals one minus the probability of the event happening. The probability of drawing a red ball is 5/8, so the probability of not drawing a red ball is 1 - 5/8 = 3/8.
