B

Solution
(b): In codominance, both the alleles are able to express themselves independently when present together resulting in a phenotype that is intermediate between both the parental homozygous phenotypes, thereby resembling both of them. $E.g.$, roan coat colour in cattle is a result of codominance of alleles for white and red coat colour.
