The answer is polygenic inheritance.
Polygenic inheritance is responsible for traits that are controlled by two or more genes. It is also called multiple gene inheritance. Examples of polygenic inheritance are height, weight, skin color, eye color.
Since a great number of genes control one trait, it is expected that each one has<span> a relatively small effect</span>
<span>The right option is <span>B) Combination of all the wavelengths of visible light
</span><span>White light is formed when there is mixture of all the colors of the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). White light is perceived when all the wavelengths of the visible light spectrum strike the eye at the same time. The sensation of white is not the result of a single color of light.

Answer:
A polygenic trait can be described as a physical trait which is influenced by more than one gene.
The three types of selection for a polygenic trait are:
1) Directional Selection: In a directional selection, one of the phenotype is favored in an ecosystem. As a result of this favoring, the allelic frequency changes and shifts in favor of this particular trait.
2) Stabilizing selection: It is a type of natural selection in which the intermediate trait is favored. The population carries a middle trait in abundance.
3) Disruptive Selection: Disruptive trait is a type of natural selection in which the traits on the extreme sides are favored. The intermediate traits are less favored.
