What type of inheritance is responsible for eye color in humans?

The correct answer is polygenic.
Explanation: Eye color in humans is influenced by multiple genes, each contributing to the overall color. This means that rather than being determined by a single gene (as with simple Mendelian traits), eye color results from the interaction of several genes, making it a classic example of polygenic inheritance.
