Solution

The correct option is A 25%

An heterozygous tall plant with red flowers(TtRr) is crossed to homozygous dwarf plant with white flowers(ttrr). In the next generation tall plant with red flowers are 25%, tall plant with white flowers are 25%, dwarf plant with red flowers are 25%, dwarf plant with white flowers are 25% are formed.
So, the correct option is ‘25%’.
