C	I, II and III
D	All of the above.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Accordingly, cell suspension cultures for commercial use have been studied recently. Examples of uses for these cultures include secondary metabolite production for drugs, flavorings and fragrances, and micropropagation, including the production of somatic embryos.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following is the main application of embryo culture? Sol: (d) Overcoming hybridisation barriers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Applications include: micropropagation using meristem and shoot culture to produce large numbers of identical individuals. screening programmes of cells, rather than plants for advantageous characters. large-scale growth of plant cells in liquid culture as a source of secondary products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Techniques to measure the growth in suspension culture: cell counting, packed cell volume, cell fresh weight, cell dry weight.
