Solution

The correct option is A Heterozygosity
Heterozygous: Having dissimilar alleles that code for the same gene or trait. For instance, Pisum sativum - tall dominant trait is represented by 'T'. It expresses even if present in heterozygous form - Tt. Thus, TT and Tt both represents same phenotype 'tall'. But genotype differs.
