Solution

The correct option is C Androgenesis
Pollen culture is a technique of production of haploid plants by the culture of pollen grains obtained from an anther of a plant under the aseptic condition on artificial media of known composition. It is also known as androgenesis because it involves the culture of male gametophyte of the plant. The technique was discovered by Guha and Maheshwari.
