d) 0.17

Probability =

no. of favourable outcomes/total no. of outcomes

Why can't the answer be b) 17%?

bcoz (here - no. of outcomes = 100 & favourable outcomes= 17)

17/100 = 17% in terms of percentage

but 17/100 = 0.17 in terms of value

& probability can be expressed in % and fractions but not in decimals.
