Solution

The correct option is A B and D only
The simplest cross done by Mendel is a monohybrid cross and not a dihybrid. Also, first-generation which we get after the crossing of two pure breeds is always heterozygous. Hence, the statements B and D are incorrect
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
