Answer: A. They were all hybrids

Step-by-step explanation:

Hybrid is another term for heterozygous.

When an individual is heterozygous for a trait, they contain one dominant allele (A) and one recessive allele (a)

In Mendel's experiment, he crossed two pure breeding (homozygous) pea plants one having the genotype AA and the other aa

If you do a punnet square, the offspring (F1 generation) would all have the genotypes Aa thus being hybrids or heterozygotes
