A boatload of Swedish tourists, all of whom bear the MM blood group, is marooned on Haldane Island, where they are met by an equally sized population of Islanders, all bearing blood group NN.

E.

Explanation:

The first filial generation, will have 4000MN, while the progeny of the new Haldane population will be in the second filial generation 1000 MM + 2000 MN + 1000 NN.
