As we have studied in:

Sex Determination: ZW Female & ZZ Males Type -

  • In butterflies and birds, the female is heterogametic having dissimilar Z and W chromosomes.
  • The male is homogametic having similar ZZ chromosomes (It is a convention to designate female as ZW instead of XY and male as ZZ instead of XX).

Hence, the correct answer is option b.
