Answer:

A: can be subject to environmental conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phenotype is a genetics term used to describe an individual's observable characteristics that result from interactions with the genotype and nonheritable environmental factors.

Phenotypes are the manifested aspects of the morphology, physiology, biochemical properties, behavior and ecological relationships of an organism.

Given these statements, it can be concluded that two organisms cannot have the same phenotype (not even twins), because there will always be, however small, a morphological or physiological difference between them.
