The correct option is A It is a product of somatic hybridization
Pomato is an example of protoplast system and somatic hybridization between potato and wild tomato. It's neither pure gene manipulation nor sexual reproduction and archegonia & antheridia is nothing but female and male gametes.
So, the correct answer is option A
