D) The offspring can be tall or short.

It's helpful to use a Punnet Square in this situation. We know that the F1 plants are all Tt (heterozygous) because they have to get a T from the TT parent and a t from the tt parent. Now we cross the Tt plants:

      T  |  t  |
T | TT | Tt |
t  | Tt  |  tt |

So, there will be some plants that are tall (TT or Tt) and some plants that are short (tt). Hope this helps! :)
