Intergeneric hybrid of apple and pear is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
The intergeneric hybrid of apple and pear is Papple.
An intergeneric hybrid is a cross between plants in two different genera in the same family. They are closely related enough that pollination will produce a hybrid, though the seeds of this hybrid are usually sterile.
The Papple is a cross between Chinese and Japanese pear species. It is highly attractive with a red-orange blush over a yellow background. It has a mild sweet tropical flavour with a crisp and juicy texture. Papple is ready to eat and does not need time to ripen and soften.
