Answer

Vowels of english alphabet : a, e, i, o, u.

Since, there is one letter 'o' in the vowels.

∴ No. of favourable outcomes = 1

P(selecting the letter 'O') = No. of favourable outcomesTotal no. of possible outcomes=15\dfrac{\text{No. of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of possible outcomes}} = \dfrac{1}{5}.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
