• A. 3
• B. 8
• C. 27

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8

Number of different types of gametes produced in an individual is $2^n$ where n is the number of Heterozygous gene pair in an individual.
Here the $F_1$ progeny of the cross would be AaBbCc. So, n = 3
Therefore, types of gametes possible is $2^3=8$
