Answer: d.
(1)/(5)

Explanation:

The square number between 1 and 20 = 1,4,9,16

The number of squares between 1 and 20 = 4

The total numbers between 1 and 20= 20

The probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number is given by :-


P=\frac{\text{square numbers}}{\text{total numbers}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=(4)/(20)=(1)/(5)

Hence, The probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number is
(1)/(5)
