This is probably a really easy question, but I can't seem to figure it out! Looks like I have a LONG way to go until I can beat the gmat :(

-----------

A gardener is going to plant 2 red rosebushes and 2 white rosebushes. If the gardener is to select each of the bushes at random, one at a time, and plant them in a row, what is the probability that the 2 rosebushes in the middle of the row will be the red rosebushes?

A. 1/12
B. 1/6
C. 1/5
D. 1/3
E. 1/2
