The correct option is B 0.01%
A centrimorgan is the unit of chromosome length and is used in genetic mapping. It is equal to the length of chromosome for which crossing over/recombination frequency is 1 percent. It is the chromosomal length for which the expected number of recombination in a single generation is 1 percent. One percent value equals to 0.01. Hence, correct answer is B.
