supports mendels law of segregation.
neither supports nor disproves mendels law of independent assortment.
supports mendels law of independent assortment.
disproves mendels law of independent assortment.

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation deals with the separation of alleles during gamete formation for a single - gene cross. A cross of Gg x Gg is a single - gene cross. The absence of gg offspring in a small sample size (4 offspring) does not provide evidence for or against the law of independent assortment which applies to two or more non - linked genes. The law of segregation is still valid as it is a probabilistic law and small samples may not show expected ratios.

Answer:

B. neither supports nor disproves Mendel's law of independent assortment.
