Inhibitory genes are those that can reduce or completely block the expression of other genes. They act by suppressing the activity of specific genes or by preventing their products from functioning. This can lead to the suppression of certain traits or characteristics. For example, the gene responsible for the red coloration of flower petals may be suppressed by an inhibitory gene, resulting in white flowers.

Option a is the correct answer.
