In our bag, 1/2 is peanuts, 1/4 is chocolate and 1/4 is dried fruit.

The likelihood of drawing a chocolate therefore is 1/4. 

The likelihood of drawing a peanut is 1/2 and the likelihood of drawing a dried fruit is 1/4.

Thus, D is the correct answer because the 1/4 likelihood of drawing a chocolate is less than the 1/2 chance of drawing a peanut.
