The correct option is C Reciprocal cross

B.Test cross – A cross is made between F1 hybrid and homozygous recessive parent, is called test cross. It is used to determine the F1 hybrid is homozygous or heterozygous.

C.Reciprocal cross – It is a cross involving two groups of individuals where half of each group are allowed to function as male and other half as female and vice versa. It is made to eliminate the effect of cytoplasmic traits and to know whether the alleles are present on sex chromosomes or autosomes.
