A population of butterflies has an allele B for big spots on the wings and b for small spots on the ...

A population of butterflies has an allele B for big spots on the wings and b for small spots on the wings. The table below provides data about this population.

GenotypeBBBbbb
Number of butterflies300400300
Genotype frequency0.30.40.3

Regarding these data about the butterfly population, which of the following statements is correct?
A) The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because the number of B alleles is equal to the number of b alleles.
B) The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because half of the heterozygotes are B and half are b.
C) The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because p2 and 2pq are different.
D) The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium because the genotype frequency of bb is greater than it would be in equilibrium.
