Answer:

Option C, 1/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Proportion of town that has blue eyes = 1/5 = 0.2

Proportion of town that has brown eyes = 1/7

The probability of choosing either a blue eye or a brown eye person is

Probability of blue eye individual * Probability of brown eye individual

= 1/5 * 1/7 = 1/35

Hence, option C is correct
