A) $\frac { 1 } { 36 }$
B) $\frac { 1 } { 6 }$
C) $\frac { 1 } { 12 }$
D) $\frac { 1 } { 3 }$

The probability of rolling a 2 on a single die is $\frac{1}{6}$, and the probability of rolling a 4 on the next roll is also $\frac{1}{6}$. Since these are independent events, you multiply the probabilities: $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}$.
