Solution

The correct option is D BAC
1 map unit or centimorgan is equivalent to 1% recombination between two genes. The frequency of recombination can be used to depict the arrangement of the genes. Recombination frequency between three genes is AB=9%
AC=17% and BC=26%.
By manipulating the three possibilities of their arrangements A-B-C, A-C-B and B-A-C, it was found that the three genes must be arranged in the order B-A-C with the distance between B-A being 9 and A-C being 17 and the distance between B-C being 26.
