Answer: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Craig's drawer contains 6 white, 5 blue and 7 black socks

He first select a sock without looking and then select another sock

Probability that he select the two black socks is equal to the product of selecting first black sock and second black sock.

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{7}{18}\times \dfrac{6}{17}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{7}{51}[/tex]

Hence, option (b) is correct.
