Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In Mirabilis jalapa, red and white-colored flowers are seen. When they are crossed, in the F1 generation, all flowers are pink colored. This is because of the incomplete dominance of red-colored flowers.
So, the assertion is true, but its reason is not true.
So, option C is the correct answer.
