A) alleles associated with low production of the repressor protein and an increase in the number of fruit compartments
B) alleles associated with high production of the repressor protein and an increase in the number of fruit compartments
C) alleles associated with low production of the repressor protein and a decrease in the number of fruit compartments
D) alleles associated with high production of the repressor protein and a decrease in the number of fruit compartments
