Answer:

D. There's a 50% chance the male will express the recessive trait

Explanation:

Because X is dominant over Xr, a female could not express it in this punnett square because she will have the extra X chromosome. While males do not have the extra X so if they receive the Xr they will have nothing to "cover" them.
