Answer:

D. 42

Explanation:

From the given value of probability

If each number represent exactly one animal and the probability of seeing a zebra = 1/8

Which means out of all the animals, the ratio is only one zebra to 8 total animal including itself

Total animal present in the zoo= = 8

Total zebra = 1

So probability goes back to 1/8

So it means that the ratio we will be dealing with should be multiple of 8.

From the options given below

That is between A.8 B.16 C.32 and D.42.

We can see that all are multiple of 8 except 42
