Answer:

XBXb

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a female, you have to have X and X. You cant have X and Y. That eliminates the first and third answer.

Because she is a carrier, we have to use B and b, because only people that actually are color blind have B and B.

So, the answer you have left is XBXb

Hope this helps
