    Answer: a) 39.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For random selections, we assume that all the dogs have the same probability of being selected.

    In this case, the probability will be equal to the number of golden retrievers divided the total number of dogs.

    We have 58 golden retrievers, and the total number of dogs is:

    31 + 58 + 20 + 38 = 147

    Then the probability is:

    P = 58/147 = 0.395

    If we multiply it by 100%, we obtain the percentage form:

    0.395*100% = 39.5%

    So the correct option is a.
