A cross between two organisms- one of which has an unknown genotype and the other with a homozygous recessive trait is called a test cross- This cross was first performed by Gregor Mendel and is used to detect the-xA0-unknown genotype of a particular organism- It is a valuable tool in genetics- Hence a cross of pea plants in which one of the parents has a homozygous recessive genotype is called a test cross- Thus the correct answer is option-xA0-C-
