Not sure what to say here? I mean, what's the question, even? It would depend on if I had knowledge of the subject or not I guess.
 
This question is a well known paradox in probability. There is no correct answer and here is the reasoning: If only one answer was correct, then the probability would be 25% but there are two answers with 25% (A. & D.), so those can't be correct.
