As we have already studied in Dominant Epistasis -

  • When two contrasting alleles are brought together, one of them dominates over the other in F1. 
  • In the phenomenon of epistasis, two independent non-allelic genes that affect the same phenotype interact in such a way that the dominant allele of one gene (for example, A) masks the effect of another gene (for example B).
  • Therefore, gene A is said to be epistatic to gene B or gene B is said to be hypostatic to gene A.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
