The correct response is:

Most individuals will be of average height.

In a polygenic trait like height, the distribution typically follows a bell curve (normal distribution), where the majority of individuals are clustered around the average (mean) height, with fewer individuals at the extremes (very short or very tall). This means that most individuals tend to be of average height.
