A
0%
B
50%
C
100%
D
45%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Family history of dyslexia Dyslexia is hereditary, passed down in the genes. So if you or one of your parents struggled with reading it’s more likely your child will too. It may skip a generation, but before you conclude that that it’s not in the family, think carefully. Many people hide their weak reading skills.

Detailed explanation-2: -What we do know is that if one of your parents has dyslexia, you have a 40-60% chance of having it too. Your chances of getting it are even higher if more of your relatives have dyslexia. From this you can tell that all your grandchildren do not have the same risk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both mothers and fathers can pass dyslexia on to their children if either parent has it. There is roughly a 50% – 60% chance of a child developing dyslexia if one of their parents has it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, with a heritability of 40–60%. A notable part of this heritability remains unexplained, and large genetic studies are warranted to identify new susceptibility genes and clarify the genetic bases of dyslexia.
