The correct answer is: 964
In the given question, the cross is between YYRRII and yyrrii. The F1 hybrid is YyRrIi.

For getting, the F2 generation the cross is YyRrIi x YyRrIi. It is a pea plant where all characters are independent assorted so we can consider the crosses separately:

In Yy x Yy , the proportion of yellow seeds produced is 34 and the proportion of green seeds produced is 14

In Rr x Rr , the proportion of round seeds produced is 34 and the proportion of wrinkled seeds produced is 14

In Ii x Ii, the proportion of inflated pods produced is 34 and the proportion of constricted pods produced is 14

Thus the proportion of plants having green round seeds in an inflated pod in the F2 generation is 14×34×34 =964
