Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
The correct option is a).

Let the allele for red colour be represented by R and the allele for white colour by r.

1. The possible genotype of plant is RR and rr. When RR is crossed with rr, the F1 phenotypic ratio will be all red (Rr). When F1 individuals are selfed i.e Rr x Rr, the F2 ratio will be 3:1 (60: 20). 
2. Now, when heterozygous (Rr) red flowered plant are crossed. Again the same cross i.e Rr x Rr, the ratio will be 3:1 (72: 24 among the given options). {because 72:24 = 3:1).

Ans is 1) 72:24 3:1 ratio
It is simple monohybrid cross. It says heterozygous red plants, indicating that red is dominant over white.
On crossing heterozygous Rr * Rr, the red coloured offsprings will be have 75% probability and White coloured flowers will have 25% probability.
