B. The organism inherits the recessive allele from both parents.
Explanation: A recessive trait is expressed only when the organism is homozygous recessive (has two copies of the recessive allele). If it has only one recessive and one dominant allele (heterozygous), the dominant allele masks the recessive trait.
