The correct answer will be - incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is the natural event occurring in nature which leads to the blending of the trait.

The incomplete dominance occurs when none of the alleles from the pair of allele controlling the trait does show dominance over each other which results in equal expression of both the alleles.

In the given case, the allele controlling the color of the flower does not show its complete effect as the crossed product of both the white and orange flowers resulted in the pale orange flower (blending of the trait).

Thus, incomplete dominance is the correct answer.
