Answer: 2. near homozygous and produces offspring of its own kind

A true-breeding line, after repeated self-pollination, is nearly homozygous for the trait and gives offspring like itself generation after generation.

It can be homozygous dominant or recessive, so option 3 is wrong; the other options do not define it.
