• D. $5\%$ men are red colour blind, $10$ are green colour blind

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2\%$ men are red colour blind, $6$ are green colour blind

Colour blindness is a disorder associated with problems with vision. The most common cause of colour blindness is an inherited problem in the development of one or more of the three sets of colour sensing cones present in the eye. Males have a higher chance of being colourblind than females, as the genes responsible for the most common forms of colour blindness are on the X chromosome.

So, the correct answer is '6% men are red colour blind, 2 are green colour blind'.
