To determine the best fortune teller to go to for the most accurate prediction, we need to consider the probability of each fortune teller's prediction being correct.

Let's analyze each option:

Option A) First - The first fortune teller has a 75% chance of being correct. Option B) Second - The second fortune teller has a 56% chance of being correct. Option C) Third - The third fortune teller has a 49% chance of being correct. Option D) Fourth - The fourth fortune teller has a 26% chance of being correct.

Since we want the best prediction, we should choose the fortune teller with the highest probability of being correct. Among the given options, the fifth fortune teller has the lowest chance of being correct (9%). Therefore, the correct answer is option E) Fifth.

Choosing the fortune teller with the highest probability of being correct increases the likelihood of receiving an accurate prediction.
