Solution

The correct option is C
300

This is a typical dihybrid cross. Both parents are homozygous, so two different types of gametes will be formed- (TV) and (tv) respectively. The $F_{1}$ plant will be heterozygous with the genotype (TtVv). Four different gametes are formed by the $F_{1}$ plants- (TV), (Tv), (tV), (tv).

As you can see from the Punnett tool, the phenotypes in the $F_{2}$ progeny are observed in a 9:3:3:1 ratio. Among these, tall plants with white flowers are one (TTvv) and two (Ttvv), thus a total of 3- recombinants which are produced 3 times in every 16 progenies. Hence out of 1600 plants, $\frac{3}{16} * 1600 = 300$ are tall plants with white flowers.
