The answer is C. 18/37

Explanation:
The total students is 37, so any particular student has a 1/37 chance of getting picked. Then you multiply the chance of any student getting picked (1/37 as previously stated) by the amount of students that are boys (18 as stated in the question), which gives you the fraction of 18/37. (In general this type of probability can be solved by with the general equation: probability = number of favorable outcomes / total possible outcomes)
