Answer 1

The correct option is A Emasculation

Emasculation is the process of removal of the anthers in order to prevent the self-pollination. It also prevents the breeding.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the flower.

Fertilization is the fusion of gametes which leads to the formation of zygote.

So, the correct answer is option A.
