D. 80%

Answer:

B. 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

-The are two people involved in the breeding.

-The event of having an anury exists in only one of the two.

-Since probability is defined as the likelihood of an event occuring, this probability is calculated as:

[tex]P(Anury)=\frac{Anury\ Event}{Total \ number \ of \ events}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\\\\=50\%[/tex]

Hence, the probability is 50%
