　　(A) 18

　　(B) 24

　　(C) 54

　　(D) 72

　　(E) 108

Explanation:

The correct answer is D

Choice (D) is correct. Let r be the number of red marbles in the jar. The probability of selecting a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles. Since the probability of selecting a red marble is , it follows that . There are 36 green marbles and r red marbles, so the previous equation becomes .
