Answer:

C-Phenotype

Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotype refers to the actual characteristics of an organism (eg. black fur). Think "physical" or ph to remember it.

Genotype refers to the alleles that are passed down (eg. Bb). For example one parent could have white fur and an other black fur, but the actual phenotype would be the black fur.

I hope my answer was clear!
