Solution

The correct option is D Sweet pea
The phenomenon of linkage was first observed by Bateson and Punnet in 1906 in sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus). Linkage describes the way in which two genes that are located close to each other on a chromosome are often inherited together. Hence option B is correct.
