In the word "MODELS," the vowels are 'O' and 'E.'

  1. Count the total number of letters in "MODELS": There are 6 letters (M, O, D, E, L, S).
  2. Count the number of vowel letters: There are 2 vowels (O and E).

Now, we find the probability of selecting a vowel letter:

\[ \text{Probability of selecting a vowel} = \frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \]

The response that corresponds to this probability is:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \]

So, the correct answer is:
