Solution

The correct option is C Yellow seed colour
A trait is a variant of a character (visible feature) under study. Among the 7 characters studied by Mendel, each of them possessed 2 variants. One was the dominant trait (which appeared in both the F1 and F2 generation) and the other was the recessive trait (which disappeared in F1but reappeared in F2 generation) when pure breeding plants for each trait were crossed. They are mentioned in the table given below:


From the above mentioned table, it can be concluded that from the given options, yellow seed color is the dominant trait. The rest of the options include recessive traits found in a pea plant.
