Solution
The correct option is C Embryo culture Embryo culture is a form of in-vitro culture techniques that is used to develop plant embryos that might not survive to become viable plants. It is used for the development of much interspecific and intergeneric food and ornamental plant crop hybrids. In this technique, immature embryo is nurtured for better survival. It is created by the interspecific and intergeneric crosses that would normally produce seeds which are aborted.
