Solution

The correct option is A 3:1
A monohybrid cross is a cross between two individuals with the homozygous genotypes.
When a cross is made between homozygous tall(TT) plant and homozygous dwarf(tt) plant, we get heterozygous tall plant(Tt). This is called the F1 generation.
When a cross is made between both heterozygous tall plants, we get tall and dwarf plants in the phenotypic ratio of 3:1. This is called the F2 generation.
The genotypes will be as:
1 homozygous tall(TT)
2 heterozygous tall(Tt) and
1 homozygous dwarf(tt)
