Option D
Solution

When experiments on peas were repeated using other traits in other plants, it was found that sometimes the $F_1$ had a phenotype that did not resemble either of the two parents and was in between the two
$F_1$ resembled either of the two parents (dominance) or was in-between (incomplete dominance). But, in the case of co-dominance the $F_1$ generation resembles both parents.
