Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
A cross between Tt × Tt produces offspring in the ratio 1TT : 2Tt : 1tt. The homozygous recessive (tt) genotype represents 1 out of 4 offspring, giving a probability of 25%. Options B and C represent the heterozygous frequency and the dominant phenotype frequency respectively.
