C Correct answer
Explanation

Honor cards are Ace, King, Queen, and Jack. There are 4 suits, so 4 * 4 = 16 honor cards. Probability = 16/52 = 4/13.

AI explanation

Using the classical definition of probability, the probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by 52. Honor cards are the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10, meaning there are 5 honor cards in each of the 4 suits, for a total of 20 honor cards. Therefore, the required probability is 20/52, which simplifies to 4/13.
