Binomial probabilities refer to the probabilities associated with only two possible outcomes. This is the case when there are only two possible phenotypic classes. Therefore, A is the correct answer. Trinomial probabilities refer to the probabilities associated with three possible outcomes, which does not apply here. Phenotypic probabilities and genotypic probabilities are more general terms that can refer to probabilities associated with any number of possible outcomes, so they are not the best choices.
