The correct answer is a) q=0.2; p=0.8. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that in a population with random mating and no evolutionary forces acting, the allele frequencies will remain constant from generation to generation. In this case, q = 0.2 and p = 0.8 would be a valid representation of allele frequencies in a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
