    A. 1/15.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are a total of 6 marbles, so:

    Probability (Red on first draw) = 2/6 = 1/3.

    Probability (Red on second draw) = 1/5.

    Required probability = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15.

    NOTE: The probabilities are multiplied because the 2 events are independent.
