The answer is B. 20 pink flowers, 20 red flowers.


Let's cross the parents:
Parents:             RW      x       RR
Offspring:      RR     RR      RW     RW

So, 2 out of 4 (with possibility P1 = 2/4 = 1/2) are the red snapdragons (RR) and 2 out of 4 (with possbility P2 = 2/4 = 1/2) are pink snapdragons (RW).

- Among 40 offspring, there will be 20 pink flowers:
40 offspring · P1 = 40 · 1/2 = 20

- Among 40 offspring, there will be 20 red flowers:
40 offspring · P2 = 40 · 1/2 = 20
