D
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the probability of getting a king when a card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards? In a pack of 52 cards, there are 4 kings. So the required probability = 4/52 = 1/13.

Detailed explanation-2: -‘ P(getting a red king) ‘ = 2/52 = 1/26‘.

Detailed explanation-3: –There are 4 suits (Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades) and there are 13 cards in each suit (Clubs/Spades are black, Hearts/Diamonds are red)-Without replacement means the card IS NOT put back into the deck.
