A.
Test tube culture
B.
Cellular totipotency
Answer
C.
Organogenesis
D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Embryoids formed in tissue culture from pollen grains are due to Cellular totipotency.
Cellular totipotency is the inherent potentiality of a plant cell to give rise to a whole plant, a capacity that is retained even after a cell has undergone final differentiation in the plant body.
A cell can differentiate into other cell types. The more cell types a cell can differentiate into, the greater its potency.
