Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

A spinner has six equal parts labeled from 1 to 6

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

We need to find the probability of getting 3 twice in a row.

$\text{Probability of getting a 3 in first row = }(1)/(6)$

$\text{Similarly, Probability of getting a 3 in second row = }(1)/(6)$

So, to find the probability of getting a 3 twice in a row, we multiply both the probabilities of getting 3 in first and second rows.

$\text{So, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }(1)/(6)* (1)/(6)$

$\bf\textbf{Hence, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }(1)/(36)$

Therefore, The correct option is B.
