Answer was wrong

A diploid plant has red flowers, heavy seeds and large leaves. The plant is a heterozygous for the following three genes:
flower color (gene "F"),
seed weight (gene "S"),
and leaf size (gene "L").
This plant is testcrossed to a plant, which has white flowers, light seeds, and small leaves, the progeny of the testcross is as follows:
Phenotype

Based on this results, which of the following statement is correct?
All three genes are linked, but need to do more crosses and data to determine the gene order.
All three genes are linked with the flowwer color gene (F) in the middle.
All three genes are linked with the seed weight gene (S) in the middle.
All three genes are linked with the leaf size gene (L) in the middle.
