Solution

The correct option is A Carrier, colour blind
Daughters inherit x chromosomes of father & mother respectively since one x chromosome masks the effect of another x chromosome, a daughter will only be colourblind if her mother is a carrier & father is colorblind.
So, the correct option is 'Carrier, colour blind'.
