X be number od aces obtained.

X can be 0,1,2

There 52 cards and 4 aces, 48 are non-ace cards.

P(X=0)=P(0 \, ace\, and\, 2\, non\, ace\, cards)=\frac{^4C_2.^4^8C_2}{^5^2C_2}=\frac{1128}{1326}

P(X=1)=P(1 \, ace\, and\, 1\, non\, ace\, cards)=\frac{^4C_1.^4^8C_1}{^5^2C_2}=\frac{192}{1326}

P(X=2)=P(2 \, ace\, and\, 0\, non\, ace\, cards)=\frac{^4C_2.^4^8C_0}{^5^2C_2}=\frac{6}{1326}

The probability distribution is as :

X 0 1 2
P(X) \frac{1128}{1326} \frac{192}{1326} \frac{6}{1326}

 

E(X)=0\times \frac{1128}{1326}+1\times \frac{192}{1326}+2\times \frac{6}{1326}

E(X)=\frac{204}{1326}

E(X)=\frac{2}{13}

Option D is correct.
