As discussed in Polygenic Inheritance -

  • ABC and abc are the two types of gametes that can be produced by a plant having a genotype of AABbCC.
  • Alternatively, we can also use the formula 2^{n}, where n = number of heterozygous genes.
  • Here, heterozygous gene is Bb, so n = 1
  • 2^{n}= 2^{1}= 2
  • So, only two types of gametes are possible. 
  • Hence, the correct option is (d).
