The answer would most likely be C 
-the plants self-fertilized so there are still going to be red and blue flowers but it says that they also crossed over (leads to co-dominance)  so when there's co-dominance neither gene will be fully expressed as the dominant one, but rather they're going to mix (blue+red=purple)
