Answer: The correct answer is-

a. 0.3

Explanation-

As per the question, the frequency of blue eyes (which is a recessive trait) is 0.09.

Let us consider the genotype for it be 'qq' ( q representing recessive allele) that produces blue eyes.

According to equation of Hardy Weinberg principle-

p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1

where p² represent the genotype for dominant trait and q² is the genotype for recessive trait.

p represents frequency of dominant allele and q is recessive allele frequency.

q² =  0.09

q = √0.09

  =  0.3

Thus, option a) 0.3 is the right answer.
