    The correct answer option is 43%.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that 70% of students have blue eyes, 45% have dark hair, and 30% have blue eyes and dark hair.

    We are to find the probability of a student getting selected will have dark hair with blue eyes.

    P (D|B) = P (D∩B) / P (B)

    Substituting the given values in it to get:

    P (D|B) = 0.3 / 0.7 = 0.428

    Rounding it to the nearest whole percent we get:

    0.428 * 100 = 42.8% ≈ 43%
