Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Height in humans is influenced by numerous loci and has a relatively smooth distribution. It is thus a quantitative or continuous trait.

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a DNA territory correlated with a specific phenotypic trait that differs in extent and can be linked to polygenic effects, i.e. the product of two or more genes, and their habitat.
