B) 1/9


\\


\large\mathfrak\red{\underline{Step\:by\:step \:explanation}}


\dashrightarrow
There are 2 (L and Z) consonants out of 6 letters.


\\


\red\bigstarThe probability of getting a consonant


\pink\implies 2/6 = 1/3


\\


:\red\impliesWhen we spin the spinner second time, we will get the same probability

= 2/6 = 1/3


\dashrightarrowThe probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant then again on a consonant

= 1/3 x 1/3

= 1/9


\red\bigstar\mathfrak \pink{Therefore, the \: answer \: is \: B) 1/9}
