A cross was performed between two parent plants of unknown genotypes. The offspring were segregated based on two flower characteristics i.e. flower colour [magenta $(M)$ or white] and flower position [axillary $(A)$ or terminal] and counted. The two genes responsible for these characters are not linked and segregate independently. Based on the information given in the table, predict the genotypes of the parents.

• A

  $M M a a \mathrm{X} m m A A$
• Correct answer
  B

  $M m A a \mathrm{X} m m A a$
• C

  $M m A a \times M m A a$
• D

  $m m A a \times M M a a$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
