So, based on the table, you see that blue was obtained:$$\frac{24}{24+49+10+17}=\frac{24}{100}$$ of the time

=0.24

Now, you can just calculate the fraction in the choices above (like a) is 6/50 = 0.12), and see which one matches 0.24 or is closest to 0.24, since this is the fraction of times you expect to get "blue", and this is your best guess.
