Solution

The correct option is C recessive
In a monohybrid cross between tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) plants, the trait combination obtained in the F1 generation is Tt (tall). Here only the dominant trait (T) which is tall, expresses itself while the recessive trait i.e. dwarf (t) fails to express itself in the presence of the dominant trait.
