Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Justin has type A blood . Both the parents of Justin has AB blood type

Brittany has type B blood and both the parents of Brittany has AB blood type

This make it clear that -

Genotype of Justin is AA

Genotype of Brittany is BB

Now if Justin is crossed with Brittany , following blood groups in offspring is possible -

AA * BB

AB, AB, AB, AB

Thus, none of the offspring will have A blood group. Thus the chances that Justin and Brittany's son has type A blood is
0 %

Option D is correct
