C Correct answer
Explanation

Reciprocal cross involves crossing the same traits but switching the sexes of parents (e.g., white male × black female, then black male × white female). If offspring ratios are identical, it proves parental sex doesn't affect inheritance of that trait. Monohybrid/dihybrid describe trait numbers, test cross tests genotype.
