Solution
The correct option is C Clonal propagation
Somatic hybridisation
Somatic hybridisation is a process of developing hybrid plants by the fusion of protoplasts of two plant cells belonging to different species which generates a hybrid protoplast with desired characteristics. As a result a new variety is formed.
Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineering is the process of modifying the genetic material of an organism by introducing foreign genes into it. The modification of genetic material leads to new varieties.
Clonal propagation
Clonal propagation is the process of multiplying genetically identical copies by asexual reproduction in plants. Therefore no new varieties are formed.
UV-radiation
UV-radiation is a mutagen that induces mutation and produces a new variety.
