Answer: B. 0.77

Explanation:

We should note that from the Hardy-Weinberg law, the formula used is:

p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1

From the information given,

p = purple allele

q = red allele

q² = 59/100 = 0.59

Then, the frequency of the red allele that is recessive will be:

q² = 0.59

q= √0.59

q = 0.768.

q = 0.77

Therefore, the correct option is B.
