Solution

The correct option is D
Interspecific hybridisation

Interspecific hybridisation is the practice of mating male and female animals of two different but related species.

The progeny obtained from such a mating are usually different from both the parental species.

Examples include the mule which is produced by hybridisation of a male donkey with a female horse.
