    B. The gene involve is on the X chromosome

    Explanation:

    The gene of eye color is located on X chromosomes. These is an example of sex linked genes. Genes located on the X chromosomes are called X - linked genes. Since the males have only one X chromosomes, the gene for white eye when present in male will always be expressed because it does not have an allele to hide or prevent its expression. Thus male flies will be white-eyed.
