Solution

The correct option is B

Producing seeds with preserved characters.


Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction in which the cells of the nucellus or other somatic cells (2x) develop as embryo and form seeds. Since, the seeds are result of asexual reproduction and not of fertilization, the characters of hybrids plants can preserved for generations.
