As we have already studied in Terminology of Genetics -

  • Homozygous:
    • When both the alleles for a character are the same, the organism is said to have homozygous genotype.
    • An organism can have homozygous dominant genotype when both the alleles of a gene are dominant.
    • An organism can have homozygous recessive genotype when both the alleles of a gene are recessive.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
