Answer:

B.) 0 %

Explanation:

To find out we have to make a punnet square

the mother's genotype XhX

the father's genotype XY

the gametes from the mother Xh and X

the gametes from the father X and Y

             Xh        X

 X          XhX    XX

 Y       XhY       XY

you can see that one of the two daughters has one gene for haemophilia(XhX) but the gene is recessive so she'll be just a carrier
