B). The dominant allele determines the trait

Answer: The correct answer is- B) The dominant allele determines the trait.

Allele can be described as an alternative form of a gene. It exists in two forms that is dominant and recessive allele.

Dominant allele (depicted by capital letter) is the one that masks the expression of recessive allele (depicted by small letter) .

Thus, dominant allele determines a trait (such as Tt for tall pea plant) that is a particular characteristic of an organism.
