A polyploid individual that contains genetic material from 2 (or more) different parental species.
A
Autopolyploid
B
Allopolyploid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An allopolyploid is an individual having two or more complete sets of chromosomes derived from different species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Allopolyploidy is another form of polypoloidy where organisms have three or more sets of chromosomes with origins in different species. The prefix allo means different, so allopolyploid organisms have genomes that come from different species. Allopolyploidy is more common than autopolyploidy, particularly in plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autopolyploidy appears when an individual has more than two sets of chromosomes, both of which from the same parental species. Allopolyploidy, on the other hand, occurs when the individual has more than two copies but these copies, come from different species.

Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is (C) Allopolyploid. Polyploid refers to a genome that contains more than two sets of chromosomes. When these chromosomes are derived from two different species, it is called allopolyploid.
