Answer:(a)

Solution:
Tallness is a dominant trait even though there is only one allele of T in genotype but the output is tall.
Hence cross between a tall plant (TT) and short pea plant (tt) results in all tall plants.
The other trait, which is not shown is called the recessive trait.

Therefore, option (a) is correct.
