Solution

The correct option is A

True


Albinism is a disorder in which the body cannot produce melanin. Due to this, the skin becomes pale and hair is white. Eyes are usually pink due to the absence of melanin. It is a genetically inherited recessive trait. This means that an albino couple would produce only albino children.
