Answer:

D

Explanation:

Because neither Mr. Kim nor anyone else is picking the people of a specific group when the paper is drawn from the bag. And rolling a cube with numbers 1-6 you almost never get the number you want so it is really random. And then after the groups are picked they roll the die and then that number is crossed off so it is not used again with the other groups.
