We can assume that the black color of the cat is given by a dominant allele (B). We also have to consider that this is a tricky question, since they ask about the phenotype (trait, like color), instead of the genotype (alleles to a particular gene, like BB, Bb, or bb).

So the phenotype of a black cat is black, or the A answer option.
