Solution:

Given a glass jar with 6 different colored marbles in it.

If a color of marble is picked, the probability is 1/6

The theoretical probability that any one color of marble is chosen will be


\begin{gathered} P=(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6) \\ P=6((1)/(6))=(6)/(6) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 6/6 (option D)
