In an entrance test, there are multiple-choice questions. Each question has four possible answers, only one of which is correct. The probability that a student knows the answer to a question is $90\%$. If the student gets the correct answer to a question, what is the probability that they were guessing?

  • A
    $\frac{37}{40}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{37}$
  • C
    $\frac{36}{37}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{9}$
