Solution

The correct option is D Recessive gene in man
Recessive genes cause colour blindness. In woman if one recessive gene and one dominant gene are present, the lady will be a carrier. It is because human females have two X chromosomes. Whereas, if human male contains a recessive gene that man will have colour blindness.
