The probability of drawing two 10's is P = 1/221, so the correct option is D.

How to find the probability?

We know that in the deck of 52 cards, we have 4 10's.

Then, the probability of drawing the first 10 is:

p = 4/52.

At this point, we have 3 10's in the deck, and a total of 51 cards (because we already took one 10).

The probability of getting another is:

q = 3/51

The joint probability (of getting both 10's, one after the other) is given by the product of the individual probabilities:

P = p*q = (4/52)*(3/51) = (1/13)*(1/17) = 1/221

Then the correct option is D.
