Answer: Choice D) 100%

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Uppercase B is the brown eyed gene. It's dominant over the recessive gene lowercase b, which is for blue eyes. Convention has the uppercase letter always dominate over the lowercase recessive gene.

Note the genotypes of the offspring are all Bb. This tells us we have nothing but brown eye offspring. The visual indicator also shows four brown eyes, which backs up each Bb genotype. The phenotype is the observed brown eyes that others can see, while the genotype deals with the gene pairings.

Since four offspring out of four total have brown eyes, this means the percent of brown-eyed offspring is 4/4 = 1.00 = 100%

100% because B is the dominant trait.
