Solution

The correct option is B B, C and D
A hybrid is a cross between two different plant varieties to get the important qualities of each variety. Hybrids are developed for disease resistance, size, flowering, colour, taste and any reason a plant might be considered special. Because they are a cross between varieties, the seed produced by hybrids will not grow true to seed. Seedlings grown from a hybrid could exhibit traits of one or both parent plants or be something totally different. The three options are correctly described.
