Answer:

The answer is C, as you'd need to multiply the chance of getting a convertible by the chance of getting a red car, or vice versa.

Explanation:

Notice in A it says OR, meaning that it can't be both red and a convertible. B would be impossible, and D would be adding and not multiplying, so C would be the answer. 0.40*0.25=0.10
