The correct answer is: B and E
The child blood group is $\left(\mathrm{A}^*\right)$ that means he must have received ( $i$ ) allele from the father i.e. the father genotype is $\left(I^B I\right)$.
While mother can have $\mu^\mu \mu^\mu$ or $\mu^A$ genotype.
So, the possible genotypes of all three i.e. mother, father and child respectively would be either
(B) $I^A I^A\left|I^B i\right| I^A i$
(E) $I^A i\left|I^B i\right| I^{A_i}$
