True breeding refers to a plant that has always produced offpsring with the same phenotype, meaning that it is homozygous. So if it is true breeding inflated, then all of its offspring when self-fertilized are inflated as its genotype in this case is ll. If you cross two true breeding inflated pods (ll x ll) then all of the offspring will be inflated as both parent pods can only produce inflated offspring. Thus, this can be represented by the first choice (llll).
