Solution

The correct option is A Parents
A line consists of a group of individual related by descent and often similar in genotype. The individual lines used in hybridization is known as parents. Hybridization is the process of mating two lines differing in their genotype. An offspring hence produced is called as hybrid. Emasculation is the process in which the stamen of the flower is removed before the dehiscence of anthers. This is done to prevent self hybridization.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Parents.'
