sometimes the dominant allele is rare ~ so it rarely shows up

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

sometimes the dominant allele is rare ~ so it rarely shows up.

This is because dominance refers to the relationship between alleles, not their frequency in the population. A dominant allele can be rare while being expressed whenever present.
