To find the probability that a randomly selected business student is enrolled in accounting, we need to divide the number of business students enrolled in accounting by the total number of business students.

Total number of business students = 1,000 
Number of business students enrolled in accounting = 250 (given) 
Number of business students enrolled in introductory statistics and accounting = 50 (given)

Therefore, number of business students enrolled in accounting only = 250 - 50 = 200

So the probability of selecting a business student enrolled in accounting is: 
P(enrolled in accounting) = 200/1,000 = 0.20 or 20%

Therefore, the best choice is C.
