In Arabidopsis some brassinosteroid mutants given below;

a) 3-week-old light-grown homozygous bri1 mutant shown a severe dwarf plant while heterozygous bri1 mutant exhibits wild-type morphology

b) 3-week-old light-grown homozygous cpd (constitutive photomorphogenisis and dwarfism) mutant exhibits a wild-type phenotype while heterozygous mutant shown a dwarf phenotype

c) The dark-grown det2 mutant has short, thick hypocotyls and expanded cotyledons while the dark-grown wild type has long, thin hypocotyl 

d) The dark-grown det2 mutant has exhibits a wild-type phenotype

Which of the following given mutants of brassinosteroid is correct?
