Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The variety of wheat developed from spring × winter wheat crosses is termed VEERY.
The ‘Veery’ lines resulted from a cross between a Russian winter wheat, ‘Kavkaz’, and a Mexican spring wheat, ‘Buho’.
These new lines showed improved resistance to stripe and leaf rust pathogens, which helped create the second generation of high-yielding wheat.
