Solution

The correct option is B
$40 %$

Explanation for the correct option:
Compute the required value.
Since, it is given that only $2$ students out of $5$ can participate in a quiz.
So, the chances of the student picked at random will participate in competition is given by:
$\frac{2}{5} \cdot 100 = 40 %$
Hence, option $B$ is the correct option.
