Answer: B: more than one gene

Explanation: A polygenic trait is a trait that is influenced by more than one gene. Every trait is controlled by at least one pair of gene. When a trait is controlled by one gene, it is called a monogenic trait but when a trait is controlled by more than one gene, it is called a polygenic trait.
