Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Phenotype refers to the observable traits and characteristics of an organism, which can include physical traits, biochemical characteristics, and behaviors. It is the result of the interaction between an organism's genotype (its genetic makeup) and its environment. While genes play a role in determining phenotype, it is not only determined by an organism's genes, but also by how those genes interact with the environment. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Phenotype refers to __________.

A) the specific genes of an organism
