Correct Answer: $\frac{11}{21}$


Solution : Given: A glass jar contains 6 white, 8 black, 4 red, and 3 blue marbles.
Number of total marbles = (6 + 8 + 4 + 3) = 21
Number of total black and blue marbles = (8 + 3) = 11
So, the probability of a chosen marble being black or blue = $\frac{11}{21}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{11}{21}$.
