  • A Cloning
  • B Grafting
  • C Cross-pollination
  • D Layering
  • E Budding
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Cross-pollination is the process of breeding plants by transferring pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of another plant of a different variety. This method is used to produce hybrids that may have desirable traits from both parent plants, such as increased disease resistance, improved yield, or enhanced nutritional content. Cross-pollination is a natural process but can also be facilitated by human intervention in plant breeding programs.
