Answer: The correct answer is A.

Explanation-

As per the law of independent assortment, the alleles are separated independently during meiosis. Thus, the person has got 50% of the alleles from each parent.

There are three possible alleles in the human blood group system. These are A, B, and O.

A person with blood group A can have two possible genotypes, which are AA or AO. This means that the person should atleast possess one copy of allele A to have the blood group A.

Since the genotype of the person is AO, therefore, the blood group of the person will be A.
