The correct statement about the pea plant is: The phenotype for height is tall, and the genotype is Tt.

Since T is dominant, any plant with at least one T allele (Tt or TT) will exhibit the tall phenotype. In this case, the plant has one tall allele (T) and one short allele (t), resulting in a genotype of Tt and a phenotype of tall.
