The probability is found by dividing the number of times the event we are interested in (landing on pink) occurs by the total number of possible outcomes (total number of spins). In this case, the event of interest occurred 2 times out of the 20 spins. Therefore, the probability of landing on pink on the next spin is 2/20, which simplifies to 1/10. In terms of percentages, this is equal to 10%.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 10%.
