The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The probability of getting heads on the coin is $\frac{1}{2}$, and the probability of getting a face card from a deck of 52 cards is $\frac{12}{52} = \frac{3}{13}$ (since there are 12 face cards in a deck). Thus, the total probability is: \[ P(\text{Head and face card}) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{13} = \frac{3}{26} \] Thus, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{26}$.
