Answer: The correct answer is option c (8)

Step-by-step explanation:

on removing the Cs and the Es-

Because each individual is homozygous at those loci, therefore they can only produce only 1 kind of gametes (with a c and an E )

on the ohter hand the As, Bs, and Ds, can produce two gametes at each locus (A and a, B and b, D and d )

Therefore total number of gametes will be
