Answer:

Recessive traits are traits carried in a persons genes without being expressed because they are masked by the dominant trait. Therefore the answer is A.

Explanation:

Recessive traits can be expressed so B is incorrect. It is not always expressed so C is incorrect. Just because a recessive trait is present does not mean it will be expressed, and if that were true it would always be expressed, so D is incorrect as well.
