Solution

The correct option is C

Allopolyploids


An organism which has more than two sets of chromosomes per cell is called a polyploid, and this condition is known as polyploidy.

Allopolyploids are the common type in plant breeding. They are developed through hybridisation between two species followed by doubling of chromosomes.
