B Correct answer
Explanation

The probability of picking a color is proportional to the number of balls of that color. Since there are 13 black balls out of 25, it has the highest probability.

AI explanation

An event is considered likely when its probability is greater than half. The bag contains 13 black balls out of 25 total balls, making the probability of picking a black ball 13 divided by 25, which is 0.52. Since this probability is greater than 0.5, a black ball is the most likely to be picked.
