BRCA1/2 mutational testing may reveal "a". If an individual has a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, they have up to an 80% of developing breast cancer and a 40% chance of developing ovarian cancer.

A and B are your best answers.

The testing will not determine when so C is out and D is out. In the case of testing for Huntington's Chorea they already know the odds. The testing will determine if the person will get the disease. I believe B is the best answer.
