Solution

The correct option is C Carl Correns, Mirabilis jalapa
A German botanist named Carl Correns while working with Mirabilis jalapa discovered incomplete dominance. This is a phenomenon in which two true-breeding parents are crossed to produce a hybrid with intermediate phenotype. Heterozygotes are a blend of homozygous phenotypes. It is also called partial dominance or intermediate inheritance.
