Solution

The correct option is C Tissue culture
Tissue culture, a method of biological research in which fragments of tissue from an animal or plant are transferred to an artificial environment in which they can continue to survive and function. The cultured tissue may consist of a single cell, a population of cells, or a whole or part of an organ. Tissue culture is used to create large amounts of plants or growing material in a sterile environment with the required water and nutrients to suit the plant species and a gelling agent such as agar. One major breakthrough made possible by tissue culture is the development of disease-free bananas in East Africa.
So, the correct option is option A.
