Solution

The correct option is C None of the progenies
The female reproductive cell carries more cytoplasm and cytoplasmic organelles than the male cell and hence naturally would be expected to influence non-mendelian traits. But in the given case, the male parent had a mutation in mitochondria, there are negligible chances of the mutation is inherited. The correct answer is option B.
