The probability of randomly selecting a can of pink paint is P = 1/3, so the correct option is A.

<h3>What is the chance that he will paint his bedroom pink?</h3>

Assuming that all the cans of paint have the same probability of being randomly selected, the probability that he will choose a pink can is equal to the quotient between the number of pink cans and the total number of cans.

There are 2 cans of white, 4 cans of green, and 3 cans of pink, so a total of 9 cans.

Then the probability is:

P = 3/9 = 1/3.

The correct option is A.
