Correct answer: A

Multiply the numbers of outcomes of the separate parts; for a choice without order, use combinations.
${}^{52}C_2 = \frac{52 \times 51}{2} = 1{,}326$ .

Worth noting

$52 \times 51 = 2{,}652$ puts the two cards in an order; drawn together they have none, so each pair is counted twice.
