There are 13 clubs in a standard deck of 52 cards. 
When drawing the first card, the probability of selecting a club is 13/52. 
When drawing the second card, assuming the first card was a club, the probability of selecting another club is 12/51. 
When drawing the third card, assuming the first two cards were clubs, the probability of selecting another club is 11/50. 
Therefore, the probability of drawing three clubs in a row is (13/52) x (12/51) x (11/50) = 0.013 or approximately 1.3%. 
Therefore, the best choice is B.
