    The correct answer will be option B.

    Explanation:

    Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder that means even if there is only one copy of the gene is present, the person will be affected by this disorder. A person with Huntington's disease will pass the disease onto 50% on his children if another parent is with the normal gene. A person cannot be a carrier as only one copy of the gene is enough to affect the individual for the disorder.

    Thus, the correct answer would be option B.
