The test used to conduct whether the plant homozygous or heterozygous is

Self-pollination. After the test, all progeny are of the same type phenotypically, the plant is homozygous, or all progeny belongs to different types phenotypically, the plant is heterozygous.
So, the correct option is 'Cross with homozygous dwarf pea'
