Solution

The correct option is D Epistasis
Epistasis is a process in which the effect of one gene is dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes'. Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It can also be defined as the interaction of two genes on different loci. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
