Solution
The correct option is B50% Parents of homozygous recessive * parents of heterozygous
In this case, 50% of offsprings will have O blood group. Each of the parents donates one of their two alleles to their offspring if any one parent has O blood group then the offspring has 50% chances of getting O blood group.
