Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

B and D are incorrect because 0% of the offspring would be homozygous dominant

C is incorrect because 50% of the offspring would be homozygous dominant

that leaves A as the only correct answer which makes sense because only the first square is AA which is 25% of the whole
