    A.

    Explanation:

    When we say that an individual is heterozygous, it means that the two alleles at the locus we are studying are different from one another. That is, each one of the parents contributed a different allele.

    On the other hand, If the alleles at that locus were the same we would say the individual is homozygous. In other words, the two parents contributed each the same type of allele.
