Solution

The correct option is B 9:3:3:1
In Mendel's dihybrid cross, the parents were - pea plants with yellow coloured round seeds (RRYY) and green coloured wrinkled seeds (rryy).
Hence, the F1 progeny obtained had round and yellow seeds (RrYy).

Selfing of the F1 plants gave F2 progenies exhibiting 4 different phenotypes: Round yellow (9), wrinkled yellow (3), round green (3), and wrinkled green seeded plants (1). Hence, the phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1.
