Respuesta :

Answer:  Choice A

Reason:

The keyword "given" is a universal indicator we're dealing with conditional probabilities. It sets up prior knowledge to reduce down the sample space.

The fact that we know the candy is red means that we only focus on the red candies (and shrinks down the set).
