Answer: Red skin

Step-by-step explanation:

Capital r (R) is the dominant trait, if the tomato has the alleles Rr the dominant allele will show up making the tomato red. Although the tomato is heterozygous that doesn't describe the phenotype it describes the genotype. The phenotype is talking about physical features.
