The most-likely explanation for this inheritance pattern is that the secretor trait is  

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.  incompletely dominant.
B.  recessive.
C.  dominant.
D.  co-dominant.
