    The answer is B) 8.

    There are 5 genes. There are two possibilities for each of the heterozygous genes and only one possibility for each of homozygous genes. So, the possibilities for each gene are:

    Aa - 2: A or a;

    Bb - 2: B or b;

    CC - 1: D;

    Dd - 2: D or d;

    EE - 1: E.

    Genotype AaBbCCDdEE will have

    2 x 2 x 1 x 2 x 1 gametes

    Thus, there will be 8 unique gametes produced by an individual with the genotype AaBbCCDdEE
