Answer:

C) Does not have hemophilia

Step-by-step explanation:

When a pedigree is half shaded, the person is a carrier.

When a pedigree is not shaded, the person doesn't express the gene.

When a pedigree is completely shaded, the person is affected.

Square usually is male and circles are usually female.

Since John is the non-shaded square and parent of 4 offspring, he does not have hemophilia. However, his wife is a carrier, and that's how their offspring have hemophilia.
