Answer»

The CORRECT option is (a) dominantly

Easy explanation: The ONCOGENES act dominantly, that is, the presence of a single copy of an oncogene can lead the cell to develop an ALTERED phenotype that might be present. Regardless of whether there is a NORMAL copy of the gene present on homologous chromosome, the oncogenes can EXPRESS themselves.
