Solution

The correct option is A Cellular totipotency
Embryoid is a mass of tissue produced during culture. Formation of embryiod from pollen in tissue culture medium is due to cellular totipotency. Cell potency is a cell's ability to differentiate into other cell types. The more cell types a cell can differentiate into, the greater its potency. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
