Solution

The correct option is C 3:1
When a white eyed male Drosophila is crossed with wild red eyed female in the F1 generation is as follows:-

Male/Female XwY
Xr XwXrXrY
Xr XwXrXrY
The F2 generation after the cross between XrY and XwXr is as follows:-

Male/Female XrY
Xr XrXr XrY
Xw XwXr XwY
Thus the ratio of red and white eyed Drosophila is 3:1.
So the correct option is '3:1'.
