Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Leafy vegetables like palak, amaranthus, and spinach, are Highly cross-pollinated.
Cross-pollination is found in both angiosperms and gymnosperms and facilitates cross-fertilization and outbreeding.
Cross-pollination is the process of applying pollen from one flower to the pistils of another flower. Pollination occurs in nature with the help of insects and wind. This process can also be done by hand to produce offspring with desired traits, such as colour or pest resistance.
