There are 3 ways to make a 4, 4 ways to make a 9, and 6 ways to make a 7 rolling a pair of 6-sided dice. There are 36 total possibilities for the sum of two 6-sided dice.

There are 3 face cards in each of 4 suits for a total of 12 face cards, plus there are 4 aces for a total of 16 excluded cards from the deck of 52. That leaves 52 - 16 equals 36 possible cards.

A. There are 2 black 7s in the possible 36 cards.
