Solution

The correct option is D All normal
Haemophilia is mainly caused due to the genetic mutation. It is mutation brings the changes in the gene which is required for clotting of blood. It is a recessive x linked. X chromosome received from mother has the gene for normal blood clotting while X chromosome from her father has the gene for hemophilia. The gene from the mother is dominant. Therefore, female heterozygous are always carriers. When a haemophilic man marries a normal woman, produces carrier girls and normal boys, i.e., all their offspring will be normal.
So, the correct answer is option D.
