Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a condition observed in the organisms while studying their genetics.

When the organisms with two alleles for the same trait are crossed, then neither of the two alleles completely express themselves but a new variation of the trait is formed.

This can be observed in the given scenario also when the ed and white flowers are crossed, then the pink flowers (a new variation of the trait) is formed called blended trait.

Thus, incomplete dominance is correct.
