<h3>Answer: 7/13</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

We know that the marble selected is red, so we don't need to focus on the other colors.

7 red marbles are in urn B out of 2+7+4 = 13 total red marbles.

The probability the red marble came from urn B is therefore 7/13
