From a lot containing $n$ good and $m$ bad articles, if $2$ articles are picked at random in succession without replacement, then the probability that the second article picked is bad is

  • A
    $\frac{m}{m+n}$
  • B
    $\frac{m-1}{m+n}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n-1)(m-1)}{(m+n)^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m n}{(m+n)^2}$
