Solution

The representation "Rr" for a pea plant refers to the genetic composition of an individual. So, the correct answer is a) genetic composition of an individual. This is because "Rr" is a genotype, which is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. In this case, "R" and "r" are two different versions (or alleles) of the same gene.
