A secretor (allele seS) is a person who secretes their blood type antigens into body fluids such as saliva. By comparison, a non-secretor (allele seNS) does not. A person's status as a secretor or non-secretor is independent of blood type. Consider the following inheritance pattern of this trait:
A. 3:1
B. 1:2:1
C. 2:1
D. 9:3:3:1
