For $k=1, 2, 3$,the box $B_k$ contains $k$ red balls and $(k+1)$ white balls. Let $P(B_1) = \frac{1}{2}$,$P(B_2) = \frac{1}{3}$,and $P(B_3) = \frac{1}{6}$. $A$ box is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. If a red ball is drawn,then the probability that it comes from box $B_2$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{35}{78}$
  • B
    $\frac{14}{39}$
  • C
    $\frac{10}{13}$
  • D
    $\frac{12}{13}$
