d
Codominance is a type of inheritance where both alleles of a gene are expressed simultaneously in an individual, and the traits are not blended. In incomplete dominance, the traits are blended. For example, in the case of the dog (i), the offspring shows both brown and white (not blended), which is codominance. In the tree (ii), it's incomplete dominance (medium - a blend of tall and short). In the hair (iii), it's codominance (spiked and curly both present). Since the question asks for the type where both traits are seen (not blended), we focus on the definition of codominance.
