Solution

The correct option is C Tt
When Mendel crossed one pure tall (TT) and one pure dwarf (tt) pea plant, the combination of the offspring produced was Tt. Since, T allele is dominant over t allele, the plant produced was tall. Tt refers to as hybrid because it has the alleles of both the parents.

Parents : (Tall) TT × (Dwarf) tt

Offspring/ F1 generation: (Tall) Tt
