Answer

Correct option: D.

$(iii)$ and $(iv).$

The crossing between genetically unidentical plants to produce a new variety, i.e., hybrid is called hybridisation. Crossing may be between two different varieties $($intra varietal cross breeding$)$, between two different species of some genus $($interspecific cross breeding$)$ and between different genera $($intergeneric cross breeding$).$
Genetically, modified crops can be produced by insertion of genes with desired traits by the process of hybridisation.
