The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A. Incomplete dominance - II. Flower colour in Antirrhinum: In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote shows an intermediate phenotype (e.g., pink flowers from red and white parents).

B. Co-dominance - I. Blood groups in humans: In co-dominance, both alleles are expressed in the heterozygote (e.g., AB blood type).

C. Pleiotropy - IV. Phenylketonuria: Pleiotropy refers to a single gene affecting multiple traits or symptoms.

D. Polygenic inheritance - III. Skin colour in humans: Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait. Skin color is a classic example of polygenic inheritance.

Therefore, the correct matches are: A-II, B-I, C-IV, and D-III. This corresponds to option (2).
