B.

1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled

C.

Correct answer is B

The diagram above refers to a PUNNETT SQUARE used in predicting the probable genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross. looking at the diagram, we have the ratio

SS : Ss : sS : ss and from the question, we see the genotypic composition is;

1 homozygous smooth : 2 heterozygous smooth : 1 wrinkled
