Solution

The correct option is C clone

Offspring
Offspring is the new individual or progeny of an organism which is produced as a result of reproduction.
The offspring may or may not be genetically identical to the parent depending on whether it is produced asexually or sexually, respectively.

Clone
Clones are organisms that are genetically and morphologically identical to each other.
Offspring produced as a result of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and the parent. Thus, they are known as clones.

Variety
A variety consists of individuals of the same species which are genetically different from each other due to the presence of genetic variations and can interbreed with other varieties of the same species.

Hybrid
Hybrid is the offspring formed as a result of the combination of genes of two different organisms.
