None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Mangla is one of the given options that is the F1 hybrid of tomato.
An F1 tomato hybrid occurs when you have two tomato plants of different varieties and then one is pollinated by the other variety's pollen. The seeds of the resulting cross-pollinated tomato will grow plants that are F1 hybrids. The children of F1 hybrids are F2.
Fruits of the Mangla variety are ready for picking after 65 days of transplanting and are medium having bright skin, and resistant to fusarium, verticillium and nematode.
