The ideal decision is C
2 3

The total possibilities are because the king comes from a family of two children
(Boy,Boy),(Boy,Girl),(Girl,Boy),(Girl,Girl)
The fact that one of the two kids is already a king (Boy).
Thus, sample space =(Boy,Boy),(Boy,Girl),(Girl,Boy)
Favorable outcome =(Boy,Girl),(Girl,Boy)
Therefore probability = 2 3
