Solution

The correct option is B Wrinkled seed
Mendel worked with the common garden pea plant, Pisum sativum. In his experiment, he chose to follow seven visible features or characters each represented by two contrasting forms or traits as shown in the table. Hence, the recessive trait is the 'wrinkled seed'.
So, the correct answer is 'B'.
