Solution

The correct option is D phenotypes

Colour of seed coat, colour of flower, position of flower, colour of pod, height of stem, are the external features of a plant which are considered as phenotypic characters.These can be visualised as they are expressed on the plant body.

Phenotypic characters are controlled by the genetic makeup of an individual which is called genotype.

Each character in an individual is controlled by two contrasting factors called alleles.
