Solution (By Examveda Team)

Hybrid progeny from a cross between two inbreds is known as a Single cross hybrid.
The term "single cross" means the first-generation hybrid between two inbred lines.
Single cross hybrid is the type of hybrid that is produced when two different inbreds are cross-pollinated, which is also known as an F1 hybrid. Each seed produced from crossing two inbreds has an array (collection) of alleles from each parent.
