Explanation:

The converse of a conditional statement "If $Q$, then $R$" is "If $R$, then $Q$". For statement $p$: "If every fourth card drawn is a spade, then 25% of the cards in a deck would be spades", we swap the hypothesis and conclusion to get its converse.

Answer:

A. If 25% of the cards in a deck are spades, then every fourth card drawn would be a spade.
