B. S1S3 × S3S4

D. S2S3 × S1S2

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In the sporophytic system of self-incompatibility, full fertility will result from a cross between S2S3 × S1S2.
Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI) is a self-pollen recognition system that enforces outcrossing in plants.
Recognition in SSI systems is typically controlled by a complex locus (S-locus) with separate genes that determine pollen and stigma specificity.
