Epistasis in genetics refers to the interaction between genes where one gene (epistatic gene) can mask the phenotypic expression of another gene at a different locus. Mutation, elevation, or enhancement are not the primary effects of an epistatic gene on another gene's effect. So the correct option is the one stating it can mask the gene's effect.
