Solution

The correct option is A Heterozygous
Heterozygous means they have two different alleles for the same trait.
For example: Tt represents heterozygous allele for tall phenotype. In heterozygous allele pair the dominant character will be expressed as phenotype and the recessive character is suppressed.
Heterozygotes can produce two different types of gametes.
