The correct answer is: Skin colour in human - Multiple allelism
Skin color in humans is not the case of multiple allelism rather it is the case of polygenic inheritance. Polygenic inheritance occurs when one character is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color, etc.
