Solution

The correct option is A 18 cM (trans)
The distance between linked genes can be calculated by calculating the recombination frequency of the linked genes. Here, the recombination frequency of ++/ab and ab/ab is = 9/100 x100 + 9//100 x 100 = 18 cM.
So, the correct answer is '18 cM (trans)'.
