Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

Owing to the dominance of roundness, the crossing of the two seeds regularly would see all the offsprings having mixed genes but will be round. 

Let RR = round seeds while RR = wrinkled seed

In the first filial generation, if we cross RR x rr

We'll have  Rr, Rr, Rr, Rr

Remember that RR is dominant while rr is recessive

Therefore, All the four offsprings will be Dominant Round i.e 100% Round
