Solution

The correct option is A Polyethylene glycol
Somatic hybridization involves fusion of two vegetative protoplasts. This fusion is achieved with the help of fusogenic agents i.e., polyethylene glycol. Polyethylene glycol treatment has become the method of choice because of its high rate of success involving the fusion of protoplasts from different plant species.
