I would think B...But i also think it could be A...Not 100% shure though...

abhisar · Answer

If mutation occurs on recessive allele, it's not necessary that it will be expressed because a another dominant allele can check its expression. A non-disjunctive mutation ca also be passed on. Such mutation creates diseases like Down's syndrome.

Third option looks correct...the mutation can be advantageous too
