A. 15%

B. 75%

C. 65%

D. 25%

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In wheat, cross-pollination is possible at 15%.
Wheat is a self-pollinating crop that produces seed when pollen from anthers fertilizes the receptive ovary in the same flower of a single-parent plant.
Hybrid wheat, where the seed is produced from two different parent plants, requires cross-pollination which is rare in nature, possibly 15%.
