Solution

The correct option is A Embryo
Explants used in tissue culture experiments for production of pathogen-free plant include the use of cells having a high meristematic activity such as apical meristem, axillary bud and leaf primordial. However, embryos cannot be used as explants to obtain such pathogen free plant because they are likely to be affected by the pathogens..
Thus, the correct answer is 'Embryo.'
