Answer:

b) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three different alleles (A,B,C) which are responsible for coat coloration but only combination of two can move forward because there are two loci at every homologous pair of chromosomes.

Thus, six combinations can be formed as AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC.
