Solution
The correct option is
A
Meta or super female
According to genic balance theory:
Genic ratio (X /А) of 1.0 produces fertile females.
Genic ratio (X /А) of 0.5 forms a male fruitfully.
Genic ratio of less than 0.5 produced infertile meta-males (super males).
Sterile meta-females (super females) are produced with the genic ratio of 1.5.
So, the correct answer is 'Meta or super female'.
