Following table shows the steps and the aims in the breeding of a new genetic variety of crop with few steps or aims marked as A, B, C and D. Identify correct explanation of A, B, C and D from the given option.

	Step	Aim
I.	A	To evaluate and selection as parents
II.	Pure line creation	Collection of pre-existing genetic variability
III.	B	To combine desired characters of different plants
IV.	Screening the superior	C
V.	Release and Commercialisation	D

A) A-Germplasm   collection,   B-Cross hybridisation, C-To select and test the hybrid for desired character combination for success of breeding objective, D-Obtained hybrid is evaluated in the crop fields and is compared with local crop cultivar.

B) A-Germplasm collection, B-Self pollination, C-To select and test the hybrid for de sired character combination for success of breeding objective, D-Obtained hybrid is evaluated in the crop fields and is compared with foreign crop cultivar.

C) A-Mutation, B-Cross hybridisation, C-To select and test the hybrid for desired character combination for success of breeding objective, D-Obtained hybrid is evaluated in the crop fields and is compared with local crop cultivar.

D) A-Self pollination, B-Germplasm collection, C-Mutation, D?Cross-hybridisation.
