RR

Rr
|
|
rr

None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A homozygous dominant genotype is one in which both alleles are dominant. For example, in pea plants, height is governed by a single gene with two alleles, in which the tall allele (T) is dominant and the short allele (t) is recessive.
Detailed explanation-2: -Individuals carrying two identical alleles (RR or rr) are known as homozygous. While individual organisms bearing different alleles (Rr) are known as heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dominant and Recessive Alleles If the genotype for seeds was Rr (where R is dominant and r is recessive), R would supersede the recessive gene and the plant would express a round seed phenotype.
