Solution

The correct option is D 1 normal :1 Albino
The daughter of an albino man would be a carrier. Carriers appear normal phenotypically but can transmit the disease to her offspring. If this woman marries an albino man, they will have half normal offspring (carriers) and half who are affected or albinos themselves.
So, the correct answer is '1 normal: 1 Albino'.
