First let's find the total amount of apples:


\text{total}=9+3+2=14

Then, if we have 9 red apples, the probability of picking a red apple is 9/14.

After that, the total number of apples is reduced to 13.

We have 2 yellow apples, so the probability of the second pick being a yellow apple is 2/13.

The final probability will be the products of the probabilities above:


\begin{gathered} P=(9)/(14)\cdot(2)/(13) \\ P=(9)/(7)\cdot(1)/(13) \\ P=(9)/(91) \\ P=0.099 \end{gathered}

So the correct option is A.
