A. yellow is dominant

Explanation:

The uppercase letter always refers to the dominant allele, if it is heterozygous the uppercase letter will be the phenotype of the organism. Since the question states the phenotype is yellow you can conclude that the Y allele is yellow and the other allele is green.
