Correct Option: B
Discontinuous variation refers to traits that have distinct categories with no intermediate forms.* Blood group is a classic example of discontinuous variation because individuals are classified into distinct blood types (A, B, AB, or O) with no in-between categories.The other options, such as shape of the head, body complexion, and pointed nose, are examples of continuous variation because they show a range of forms, with many intermediate categories.
