Answer:

1 - 1/10

Explanation:

As strange as it may seem, the easiest way to answer this question is to calculate the probability of selecting an elephant first and then to subtract this probability from 1:

Adding up the Numbers of animals, we get 12+4+3+11, or 30. The probability of selecting an elephant is thus 3/30, or 1/10.

Thus, the probability of NOT selecting an elephant is 1 - 1/10 (Answer A).
