Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

- 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the male is hemophilia recessive, not dorminant and the female allele has no traits of hemophilia therefore, the offspring have zero percent of having the diseases. The girl allele will be normal and recessive of hemophilia. Because there is no dorminant allele that can result into hemophilia.
