The correct option is D Dihybrid cross

A.Test cross – crossing of F1 individual with homozygous recessive progeny is called Test cross. It is used to determine whether F1 progeny is homozygous or heterozygous.

B.Back cross – Crossing F1 progeny with any one of the parents.

C.Monohybrid cross – Cross is made between a homozygous dominant parent to another homozygous recessive parent on the basis of one character. By using this cross Mendel postulated Law of dominance and Law of Segregation.

D.Dihybrid cross – Cross is made between a homozygous dominant parent to another homozygous recessive parent on the basis of twocharacters. By using this cross Mendel postulated Law of Independent assortment.
