The correct answer is:
C

A single gene product may produce more than one effect. For example, starch synthesis in pea seeds is controlled by one gene. It has two alleles ( and ). Starch is synthesised effectively by homozygotes and therefore, large starch grains are produced. In contrast, homozygotes have lesser efficiency in starch synthesis and produce smaller starch grains. After maturation of the seeds, BB seeds are round and the bb seeds are wrinkled. Heterozygotes produce round seeds, and so B seems to be the dominant allele. But, the starch grains produced are of intermediate size in seeds. So if starch grain size is considered as the phenotype, then from this angle, the alleles show incomplete dominance.
