Answer:

A) 1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both white fur and rough fur are recessive traits, you need all genes shown to also be recessive. If a single trait is dominant, then it will be expressed instead of a recessive gene. Because there is only one square out of sixteen that is all lowercase, the chance of having both recessive traits (White fur and Rough fur) is 1/16.
