因此所求概率为
所以正确答案是 D。
There are two cases: either both selected pairs contain only genuine coins or each selected pair has one counterfeit coin.
For the first case, there are ways to choose the coins for the first pair and choices for the second pair.
We also have to divide by since we can swap the pairs. This gives us configurations for this case.
For the second case, there are ways to choose the non-counterfeit coins. There is only one choice for the counterfeit coins.
There are two ways to create the two pairs, two choices for which counterfeit coin goes with a genuine coin.
This means that there are configurations for this case.
The desired probability is then
Thus, D is the correct answer.

解答:
只有 种情况:所有顶点颜色都不同;恰有一对相邻顶点同色;或有 对相邻顶点同色,且两对使用不同颜色。
情况 :所有顶点颜色都不同。
此时有 种着色方法。
情况 :恰有一对相邻顶点同色。
选择各顶点颜色的方式有 种,而同色的相邻顶点对有 种选择。
因此这种情况共有 种着色方法。
情况 :有两对相邻顶点分别同色。
不在任何同色对中的顶点有 种选择。再为两对和该单独顶点选择三种不同颜色,有 种,所以这种情况共有 种着色方法。
所有情况合计 种。
所以正确答案是 C。
Note that there are only cases: all the vertices are different, there is one pair of adjacent vertices with the same colors, or there are pairs (each pair has a different color).
Case all vertices have different colors
This case just gives us different colorings.
Case one pair of adjacent vertices has the same color
There are ways to choose the colors for this case. There are then options for the pair of vertices.
This gives us a total of colorings for this case.
Case two pairs of adjacent vertices have the same color
There are choices for the vertex that is not in a pair. There are then choices for the colors. There are then a total of colorings for this case.
There are a total of colorings for all the cases.
Thus, C is the correct answer.
