Solution

The correct option is B Green seed colour
Mendel made a wise selection of plant for his studies, Pisum sativum, which was a wise choice. He then selected seven characters of the plant for a detailed study; for which he found both dominant and recessive traits. Seed colour which he found as dominating is yellow and the recessive one was green.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
