Answer:

The correct option is B. ee

Step-by-step explanation:

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of a gene are the same whereas, a heterozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of a gene are different.

A recessive trait can be described as the trait which gets suppressed and will only be seen if both the alleles of a gene are recessive. A dominant allele masks the effect of a recessive allele.

Usually, dominant form of an allele is written in capital alphabets and the recessive form is written in small alphabets. Hence, homozygous recessive trait would be written as ee.
