The correct option is D

4


According to the law of segregation of alleles, each allele segregates during gamete formation and each gamete is equally likely to get any of the alleles.

In this case of genotype AABbCc, A gene will give only one type of gamete, B can give two types of gametes and c can give two types of gametes. Thus, totally four types of gametes will be produced.
