Answer
A
all plants had both the dominant and recessive alleles.
B
all plants had the dominant trait.
C
half of the plants had the dominant allele.
D
one in four plants had two alleles for the recessive trait.

Explanation

In the F2 generation, the usual allele ratio is 1 RR : 2 Rr : 1 rr. That means one out of four plants is homozygous recessive (rr), with two recessive alleles, so the correct choice is “one in four plants had two alleles for the recessive trait.”
