In primroses, the dominant allele of gene K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment. Blue pigment synthesis is inhibited by a dominant allele of gene D.

If two dihybrid plants (Kk Dd) are crossed, what is the ratio of blue to white offspring in the progeny?

A) 3 blue: 1 white B) 7 blue: 9 white C) 4 blue: 12 white D) 3 blue: 13 white E) 1 blue: 15 white
