Answer:

D. In each case, about three-fourths of the offspring presented one form of the trait, and about one-fourth presented the other form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of the experiment showed that out of 4 offsprings, 1 was pure tall, two were tall with a reccesive dwarf trait and one was pure dwarf

So there were 3 tall offsprings and one dwarf offspring

So 3/4 th of the offsprings presented one trait and 1/4 th presented the other
