A
Genetically modified organisms
B
Hybridization
C
Agronomics
D
None of them
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hybridization refers to crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. This crossing may be intervarietal (between different varieties), interspecific (between two different species of the same genus) or intergeneric (between different genera).

Detailed explanation-2: -(i) Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. (ii) Cross between two varieties is called inter-specific hybridization. (iii) Introducing genes of the desired character into a plant gives genetically modified crop. (iv) Cross between plants of two species is called inter varietal hybridization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hybridization is the process of crossing two parent varieties or breeds that are genetically different. It is highly frequent in plants and domestic animals to improve their quality and yield.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The correct sentences are hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants and ntroducing genes of the desired character into a plant gives a genetically modified crop.

Detailed explanation-5: -i) Hybridization means crossing between genetically dissimilar plants. ( ii) Cross between two varieties is called as interspecific hybridization. (
