Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Probability of Marble Number Divisible by 4** Total marbles = 48 (numbered 1 to 48) Multiples of 4 from 1 to 48: 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48\displaystyle 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 Count = 484=12\displaystyle \frac{48}{4} = 12 P(divisible by 4)=1248=14P(\text{divisible by 4}) = \frac{12}{48} = \frac{1}{4} Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
