Answer:

The correct answer is 5/14 because there is 14 marbles and only 5 of them are black, there's the possibility that she will only draw a black marble 5 times Hopefully this helps!

the probability of the black marble will be 35.7% because 100/(9+5) is 7.14 and you multiply  that by 5 to get 35.7%.
