Selecting an answer

Ok here's a brain-teaser type question. It's multiple choice. Enjoy :)
options = {'A','B','C','D};
myAnswer = options{randi(4)};
Now, what is the chance of "myAnswer" being correct for A,B,C,D below?
A) 25%
B) 50%
C) 60%
D) 25%
... and should I get the Statistics Toolbox to help me? :)

What do the percentage numbers mean? What is the qualitative difference between A) and D)?

Sorry Jan, just a puzzle I found - no further info available. I tried thinking it through as a last resort (thinking should always be a last resort)... but met some difficulty.
