C the roan and white alleles are expressed independently of the other

D the red and white alleles are expressed independently of each other

D the red and white alleles are expressed independently of each other.

You know this because roan is when both red and white are present. So therefore, because of this, the cow can be red, white, or both depending on what alleles are present.
