Solution
The correct option is D Hybrid vigour
Heterosis is also called as hybrid vigour. It is the increase in such characteristics as size, growth rate, fertility and yield of a hybrid organism over those of its parents. Plant and animal breeders exploit heterosis by mating two different pure-bred lines that have certain desirable traits. Because of this, hybrids are generally found to be superior to their parents. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
