Option B. The offspring receive one allele for each trait from each parent.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a process in which sperm cells of male combine with egg cells of female organism produces a fertile zygote. In sexual reproduction, the offspring receive half number of chromosome from each parent and the organism which is formed are diploid i. e. double number of chromosomes. The offspring receive one allele for each trait from both parents.
