Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is: Selective breeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many fruits and vegetables have been improved or even created through artificial selection. For example, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage were all derived from the wild mustard plant through selective breeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Classical breeding-the practice of improving crop varieties by selectively breeding the best-performing plants-can help farmers increase their yields and profits, battle pests and weeds, resist drought, adapt to changing climate conditions, and enhance sustainability and global food security.
Detailed explanation-4: -How does selective breeding work? Farmers select parents with desirable characteristics and breed them together. From their offspring, they again choose those with the best combination of traits and breed them together. The process is repeated over many generations .
