Answer 2

Both have the same probabilities of having a meal that includes salmon

Explanation:

As they both ordered one main dish, one aske for one of each column, and only in the main dish there´s salmon, and the other one directly asked for one main dish, in the main dish column there´s salmon, so they both have a 1/4 probability of getting salmon.
