A: 1/1320 B: 1/4 C: 1/48 D: 1/220

The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)

= 1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent
