You are not replacing, so A is hopelessly out

The probability of drawing a green CHANGES after your first draw if you do not replace.
Only one choice is specific about drawing blue first and green second.
Suppose a bag contains 3 blue and 2 green marbles. You randomly draw 2 marbles without replacement. If B=drawing a blue marble and G=drawing a green marble, which event does NOT have the same probability as the others?
Bag
A. GG
B. BB
C. GB
D. BG
