Apple Care can only be added to a device if it is within 60 days of being boiught from Apple.
If this was purchased from Apple for longer than that, then Apple Care cannot be purchased for it.
If it's still elgible for Apple Care, the option will appear in the Settings App on the iPad itself.
click here ➜ AppleCare - Apple
If you already have another Apple device and you have Apple Care One for it, it may be possible to add the newly purchased iPad to Apple Care one if it is elgible.

Beyond that, and when purchasing from places like Facebook market place it is important you verify the device has been restored to factiory settings and is not in Activation Lock, Lost Mode or still logged into the previous owner's Apple Account in any way as that would make it useless to you, and Apple will not help you unlock it in any of these cases.
