Answer:

The correct answer is - B. An allele present in all members of a population.

Explanation:

A homzygous variant or allele for all the members of a particular gene is a fixed gene and is the only variant that presents in all the population for that gene.

It takes place when there is all other alleles become extinct and only one remains. The allele frequency of this allele is always 1.00 in the population which means only one allele is present on the locus.
