Work Step by Step

A is wrong since there has to be at least one allele, and C and D are wrong since 0% variability means that there cannot be a second allele which by definition must be different for at least one nucleotide. Also, D is wrong because 0% nucleotide variability means that gene variability must be 0% as well-- genes are made of nucleotides.
