Answer:

Option C, Black and speckled

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a hen with speckled feathers is a species with a co dominant phenotype where both the traits of black and white feathers are present individually without blending with each other.

Let the genotype for black feathered species be BB

The genotype for white feathered species be WW

The genotype for speckled feathered species be BW

BB * BW

BB, BW, BB, BW

The offspring will have both Black and speckled species.

Option C is correct
