In maize, coloured endosprem (C) is dominant over colourless (c) , and full endosperm (R) is dominant over shrunken (r). When a dihybrid of `F_(1)` generation was test crossed, it produced four phenotypes in the following percentage :
Coloured full - 48 % Coloured shrunken - 5 %
Colourless full - 7 % Colourless shrunken - 40 %
From this data, what will be the distance between two non-allelic genes ?

A

48 unit

B

9 unit

C

4 unit

D

12 unit
