Answer:

Option D, Zero out of four (0%)

Explanation:

As we know,  achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant pattern. Now a girl having normal stature mate with a partner who also has a normal stature.

Thus let us assume -

Allele for disproportionately short arms and legs be represented by "A"

while allele for normal stature be represented by "a"

Now genotype of parents would be

Female - aa

Male - aa

Thus,

aa x aa

aa, aa, aa, aa

Thus, option D is  correct.
