Solution

Verified by Toppr

The parasexual hybridization or somatic cell hybridization is an alternative for obtaining hybrids with useful somatic hybrids. The protoplast is obtained from the two different sources and it is then allowed to randomly fuse. The useful products are selected through visualizing or through various biochemical methods or using fluorescent dyes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
