there is 4 chances to see their kids' genomic combinations.

2 out of 4 possibilities of which their kids are completely normal and not a recessive carrier, 1 out of 4 possibility where their kid will be normal but is a carrier of the recessive albinism
1 out of 4 possibility where the kid will be an albino.

Ratio-wise, the answer is: c. 1:4 children will be albino

hope this helps
