A

1) Since a Standard deck has 52 cards. And That we have 2 red jacks

We can state the number of our subspace as 52

And the number of favorable outcomes is 2

2) Then we can write out a quotient between the favorable outcomes and the whole number of cards:


P=(2)/(52)\Rightarrow P=(1)/(26)

3) Hence, the answer is A
