Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan's father and paternal grandfather were allergic to penicillin, Nathan has a 75% chance of having the same allergy.

If the test predicts that Nathan is not allergic to penicillin, what is the probability after the test that Nathan is not allergic to the drug?

A) 0.1135

B) 0.2450

C) 0.9423
