Codominance

None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Codominance and Incomplete dominance are two types of genetic inheritance. Codominance essentially means that no allele can block or mask the expression of the other allele. On the other hand, incomplete dominance is a condition in which a dominant allele does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele.
Detailed explanation-2: -Children born with semi-curly or wavy hair are an example of individuals exhibiting incomplete dominance because the crossing of parents alleles both straight and curly hairs to produce such offspring. Thus, incomplete dominance occurs to produce an intermediate trait between the two parent traits.
