    C. 2/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    p (event) = (number of desired outcomes) / (total number of outcomes)

    The total number of outcomes is the sum of the numbers of all chips.

    5 + 3 + 7 = 15

    The desired outcomes are any red or blue chips to be drawn.

    There are 3 red chips and 7 blue chips.

    3 + 7 = 10

    Number of desired outcomes = 10

    p (red or blue) = 10/15 = 2/3

    Answer: C. 2/3
