Solution

The correct option is B 1 : 3
In one single sperm there will be single allele coming from the father which will contribute and determine the offspring's blood group. It could be any one from IA, IB and i. Thus, if there is 1 allele in a sperm and three in total population, therefore the ratio will be 1:3.
So, the correct option is '1:3'.
