Solution

The correct option is C Homozygous
A plant whose genotype is in homozygous condition and can express the certain type of phenotype is called as true breeding. Plant breeders usually inbred the plants for several generations to make a plant that will "breed true". An example of a true breeding tall plant is a plant with the genotype TT. Thus, option C is correct.
