The picture shows fruit produced by two parents and fruit produced by one of their offspring.

Which best describes this inheritance pattern?

codominance because the fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color
codominance because both parents’ colors are expressed in the offspring
incomplete dominance because both parents’ colors are both visible in the offspring
incomplete dominance because the fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color

Based on the descriptions you've provided, the best option would be:

incomplete dominance because the fruit color of the offspring is an intermediate form of the parents’ fruit color.

Incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the offspring is a blend or intermediate of the phenotypes of the two parents. If the offspring's fruit color is indeed an intermediate between the two parent colors, this would support the idea of incomplete dominance.
