If four o' clock plants, the gene for red flower colour (R) is incompletely dominant over the gene for white flower colour (r), hence the plants heterozygous for flower colour (Rr) have pink flower. What will be the ratio of offsprings in a cross between the red flowers and pink flowers ?

A

`75 %` red flower, `25 %` pink flowers

B

All red flowers

C

`50 %` red flowers, `50 %` pink flowers

D

Red : pink : white :: 1 : 2 : 1
