Solution

The correct option is A Complementary genes
The complementary gene is an interaction of two dominant non inter allelic gene in which each gene have its own effect but when they come together to interact then a new trait is developed and the Mendelian ratio 9:3:3:1 is changed to 9:7 due to complementation of both genes.
