Explanation of the correct option:

  1. Cytoplasmic male sterility is the phenomenon that leads to male sterility.
  2. Specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions are associated with male sterility in plants.
  3. These genes responsible for male sterility are present in the mitochondria.

Explanation of the incorrect options:
Option B:

The cytoplasm contains the organelles such as mitochondria, but it does not contain genes responsible for male sterility.

Option C:

The nucleus contains nuclear material and genetic material.

Option D

The genome of chloroplast helps in different processes such as photosynthesis.

Final answer: The progenies are male sterile after crossing two plants. This is due to some genes which are present in mitochondria.
