Solution

The correct option is A Heterosis

Superiority of progeny over the parents in all aspects is Heterosis. It is developed in the plants having inbreeding depression or high homozygosity. It is developed by crossing of F1 hybrids with one another. It is generally applicable in self pollinating plants.

So, the correct option is ‘Heterosis’.
