Answer:

The correct option would be C) 50

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from the punnet square, a cross was made between a wrinkled pod-shaped plant with a heterozygous dominant round-shaped plant. The results of the cross show that there are 50% chances that the offsprings produced will be heterozygous, dominant, round pod-shaped. There is also a 50% chance that the offsprings will be recessive having wrinkled pod shape.

Hence, if 100 offsprings are produced then there is the most likely outcome that about 50% of the offsprings will be recessive.
