D. Vegetative propagated crops
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Recurrent selection is mostly used in Cross-pollinated crops.Recurrent selection means repeated cycles of selection and breeding aimed at the gradual genetic improvement of a few key traits in a single species. The benefits of breeding are cumulative in that each cycle or generation of improvement builds upon advances made in prior generations.
The recurrent selection was originally developed as a method of breeding in cross pollinated species. However, it is more commonly used in cross pollinated species than in self pollinated species.
