D. 2/12 * 2/12
The probability of drawing a $10 bill on the first draw is 2/12. After drawing one $10 bill, there is only 1 $10 bill and 11 total bills left. Therefore, the probability of drawing a $10 bill on the second draw is 2/12. Since the events are independent, you multiply the probabilities together.
