Solution
The correct option is B Cytoplasm
Cytoplasmic inheritance is due to extranuclear genes present in mitochondria and chloroplasts. These genes do not follow Mendelian inheritance. Male sterile plants produce no functional pollen, but do produce viable eggs. The gene for the inheritance is mostly cytoplasm based because the cytoplasm of the zygote comes from the egg cell.So, the correct answer is 'Cytoplasm'.
