Solution
The correct option is A Phenotype
The characters of an organism that are visible are known as phenotypes and a genotype is defined as the unique genetic constitution of a living organism. Now, the same phenotype may or may not belong to the same genotype. As an example, the genotype of a tall plant can be (TT) or (Tt), but phenotypically both the genotypes will produce tall plants. So, the correct answer is option A.
