D. The man's traits (ff) would be recessive and with one of the girls (FF), all their offspring would have the genotype Ff, meaning all the offspring have freckles.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, 100 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Freckles are a dominant trait in humans

The female partner has genotype = FF

The male partner with no freckles shall have genotype = ff

The cross between the above two is represented through a punnet square-

F F

f Ff Ff

f Ff Ff

Thus all the offspring will have genotype Ff,

Since the dominant allele is F . thus all the offspring would have freckles
