Solution

The correct option is C cross-hybridisation
Pure lines created by self-pollination are used as parents to create hybrids. Cross-pollination or cross hybridisation of two selected pure line parents leads to the formation of the desired progeny. It thus brings together the desired traits in different plant lines into one plant line.
