The probability is 4/24, which simplifies to 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 1/6.

When you take out an orange candy from the bowl, the total number of candies in the bowl is reduced to 24 (5 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 7 - 1).

Now, there are 4 orange candies left in the bowl.

The probability of drawing another orange candy is the number of favorable outcomes (drawing an orange candy) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (the total number of candies in the bowl).

So, the probability is 4/24, which simplifies to 1/6.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 1/6.
