A) He is homozygous for eye color
He has two alleles for brown eyes, having a pair of either dominant or recessive alleles is homozygous

A.

So, he has two of the same alleles. Homo means same, so therefore he is homozygous.

If he had brown eyes, but had a brown allele and a blue allele he would have been heterozygous. Hetero meaning different.
