Solution
The correct option is C Mother
Carrier is the situation where the person (female) does not have the disease, but has the potential to transfer the defective gene to the next generation. This is possible only by females, because they have two X chromosomes. Whereas, males have XY composition and only X can carry genes. So, only two conditions can exist - either diseased or normal and no carrier.
