Answer 1

The correct option is B Formation of better progeny

Cross-pollination has several advantages; It introduces genetic diversity in the plants which makes them resistant to diseases. It gives the hybrid progenies i.e. more viable and resistant offspring with new desirable characters. It helps in evolution. Undesirable characters of the plants can be eliminated by the cross-pollination method.

So, the correct answer is option B.
