Solution

The correct option is A 0%
If both husband and wife have normal vision when their fathers are colorblind then, the husband has normal vision while the wife is a carrier of the colorblind gene, that is located on the X chromosome. This would result in one normal and one carrier female progeny, both being phenotypically normal.
So, the correct answer is'0%'
