Explanation:

there are 13 out of 52 diamond cards.

and there are 26 out of 52 black cards.

so, for the first card to be diamond the probability is

13/52 = 1/4 = 0.25

but now, he does not put the card back.

he pulls the second card out of 51 possible cards.

the desired cases are still 26.

so, the probability to pull a black card as the second card under the restriction that the first card was a diamond is

26/51 = 0.509803922...

the probability for that combined event is then

1/4 × 26/51 = 26/204 = 13/102 = 0.12745098...

so, c. is the right answer.
