C. Independent, 49/1296

Step-by-step explanation:

A jar contains 12 red balls, 7 green balls, 10 white balls, and 7 yellow balls.

Total balls = 12+7+10+7

Total balls = 36

Two balls are chosen at random with replacement.

The probability that the both balls are green = probability of the first ball to he green * probability of the second ball to be green

The probability that the both balls are green = 7/36 * 7/36

The probability that the both balls are green = 49/1296

The probability that the both balls are green = 49/1296
