Solution

The correct option is C Green pod colour
Mendel chose seven pairs of contrasting traits, namely plant height, flower position, pod colour, pod shape, seed colour, seed shape and flower colour. The terminal flower position was recessive to axial position; yellow seed colour was recessive to green colour; green pod colour was dominant to yellow and round seed shape was dominant to wrinkled shape. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
