Solution

The correct option is B codominant alleles
Codominant alleles show an independent effect in the heterozygous condition because both the alleles express themself. A condition where both alleles are dominant to each other.
Dominant genes express themselves in heterozygous conditions. While heterozygous organisms, in incomplete dominance, show an intermediate phenotype.
