Answer:

It's more likely to be similar to their parents,

Explanation: Due to the fact that the combined DNA of the parents helps decide what the offspring looks like, sounds like, what diseases they get & how their body functions. it's highly unlikely for it to be similar to one of the first cousins due to the fact that their mum/dad probably didnt mate with the mum/dad of the first cousin.
