total number of chips: 2 + 4 +3 = 9

total white chips = 3
 probability of picking white first = 3/9 = 1/3

after taking one chip there would be 9-1 = 8 chips left

and 3-1 2 white chips left

probability of picking 2nd white chip = 2/8 = 1/4

probability of picking both =  1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12
 answer is D
