Answer:

B

Explanation:

Probability of finding A in a word = number of A / number of letters in that word

Probability of finding A in MATH = 1/4

A. Probability of finding A in BECAME = 1/6

B. Probability of finding A in ADMIRALS = 2/8 = 1/4

C. Probability of finding A in USERNAME = 1/8

D. Probability of finding A in AFTERMATH = 2/9

So we have a match with option B
