Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Allele for dominant freckle trait is "F"

Allele for recessive no freckle trait is "f"

Given -

Population lacking freckles  = 4%

As per Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium equation

p represents the frequency of dominant allele in a given population and p^2 represents the frequency of dominant individuals in a given population

Like wise

q  represents the frequency of recessive allele in a given population and q^2 represents the frequency of recessive individuals in a given population

q^2 = 0.04\\q = 0.2

Frequency of dominant allele = 1- 0.2\\= 0.8

Frequency of homozygous recessive individual

q^2 = 0.4

Frequency of homozygous dominant individual

q^2 = 0.40.8^2\\= 0.64

Option C is correct
