Answer=12

The first marble has 4 outcomes, 1/4. The second marble only has 3, since the first one is now gone, 1/3.

1/4*1/3=1/12

12 outcomes

You have 4 marbles and you can get 3 combinaisons of two marbles for each one.

So 4*3 = 12.

There are 12 outcomes. The answer would be D.

Hope this helps !
