The answer is the option (d) Phenotypes – 4; genotypes - 9

Explanation: For example, consider a dihybrid cross between wrinkled green (rryy) and round yellow (RRYY). The phenotypes were as follows: round green, round yellow, wrinkled green and wrinkled yellow and the genotypes were: rryy, rrYy, rrYY, Rryy, RrYy, RrYY, RRyy, RRYy, and RRYY. Hence, correct option is (d).
