Correct Answer:
The first person has a 8/13 chance of getting a meat topping. The second person has a 7/12 chance since there are no repeats, which means the third person would have a 6/11 chance. Since there are only three people, you multiply 8/13 x 7/12 x 6/11. That gives you 19.6% = 336/1716. A, B, C, and D are incorrect.
