I did the test and the answer was D. Their child would have a widow's peak.

Jacoby Acosta · Answer 2

The child will have a widows peak 100% or the time. The Father's is dominate and the mothers is recessive if you do a gene chart for it the children will always have the widows peak because there is always a dominate trait in each box.
