Solution

Offspring is the young born of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms.
Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all the offspring, as with the honeybee.

A hybrid, or crossbreed, is the result of combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds, varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents (such as in blending inheritance) but can show hybrid vigour, often growing larger or taller than either parent.

Progeny means an offspring. Simply a child, a descendant.While a hybrid is totally different.

When 2 homozygous organisms mate and their progeny's genetic makeup is a mixture of the two then the progeny is a hybrid.
