Answer:

b. The chance of an offspring having white eyes is 50%

Explanation:

So the genotype of the male fly is X^r Y. This means the male has white eyes because he only has one X chromosome, so he will express whatever allele is on that chromosome.

The genotype of the female fly, though, is X^R X^r. This is because carriers are heterozygous for traits, and the sex chromosomes of most females is XX (with some exceptions, like XXX, or X (Turner syndrome)).

If we cross this, what are the outcomes? Do a Punnett square. You get the genotypes of X^r X^R, X^r X^r, X^R Y, and X^r Y. The expected phenotypes are a red eye female, white eye female, red eye male, and white eye male.

Now, let's look at the choices:

A.: The chance of an offspring having red eyes is not 75%; it is 50%.

B.: The chance of an offspring having white eyes is 50%!!!

C.: The chance that a male offspring will have white eyes is 50%, not 0%.

D.: The chance that a male offspring will have white eyes is 50%, not 100%.

Sooo, it's B!
