Solution

The correct option is A Somatic embryogenesis
  • Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos. No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.
  • A non-viable seed is the one which fails to germinate even under optimal conditions, including treatments for the removal of dormancy.
  • Somatic embryogenesis mostly produces non-viable seeds.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Somatic embryogenesis'.
