Answer:

C. Aa x Aa

Explanation:

According to this question, one gene coding for fur coloration in mice is involved. The allele for agouti coloration (A) is a dominant trait over black fur (a). This means that a heterozygote mouse will have an agouti coloration.

Based on this question, two parents were crossed to produce offsprings that have a ratio of three agouti individuals (3) to one black individual (1). Based on this phenotypic ratio, only parents that are both heterozygous for the fur color gene can produce it. That is, a cross between Aa and Aa mice parent. Hence, the genotype combination of Aa × Aa is possible for the parent to produce offsprings with 3 Agouti : 1 black.

Answer: C) Aa x Aa
