Solution

The correct option is A Only left handed
According to the question, right handedness (R) is dominant over left handedness (r), hence, the left handed parents will have homozygous recessive genotype (rr). Since, both parents will produce only one type of gamete with "r" allele, all the children will be left handed (rr). Option A is the correct answer.
