The best definition which describes polygenic traits is :

B) traits that are controlled by multiple genes.

Polygenic traits basically mean the traits that are a result of multiple intertwined traits like for example skin colour.

When two people mate their traits get intertwined and the resultant trait of the baby is a result of the polygenic traits.

When it comes to the offspring we can assume that the offspring would have a long beak. The offspring would either have the dominant (father) genes.
