Solution

The correct option is B Triticale
1) Triticum: Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food. The many species of wheat together make up the genus Triticum; the most widely grown is common wheat.
2) Hordeum is a genus of annual and perennial plants in the grass family
3) Triticale is a crop species resulting from a plant breeder's cross between wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale). The name triticale (Triticale hexaploide Lart.) combines the scientific names of the two genera involved.
4) Eleusine is a genus of Asian, African, and South American plants in the grass family, sometimes called by the common name goosegrass.

So, the correct answer is 'Triticale'.
