Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

A locker combination has three nonzero, non-repeated digits.

Total possibilities for the first place would be = 9 digits

Total possibilities for the second place would be = 8 digits [out of 9 no. 1 number is chosen]

and for the third place the possibilities of digits = 7 digits.

If the first digit is odd.

For the second place the even numbers are = 2, 4, 6, and 8

So the probability that the second digit is even = =

Option A. is the answer.
