Answer:

C. Pp, purple

Step-by-step explanation:

P (dominant) = purple

p (recessive) = white

Capital letters are dominant, while lowercase letters are recessive. For a recessive trait to be expressed, there needs to be 2 of that allele (in this case two p alleles need to be expressed for the flower to be white). The question asks for a dominant allele and a recessive allele, so the answer must have P and p. Pp is the genotype of the plant, while purple is the phenotype. The genotype is the genetic makeup, while the phenotype is the physical appearance of the plant. In this instance, the flower will be purple because purple is dominant over white which is recessive
