Verified by Toppr

A species is a group of related organisms which can potentially interbreed with each other freely in natural conditions and produce viable offspring.
In the case of plants, those plants who can interbreed freely with each other and form viable seeds are said to be belonging to same species.
So, the correct option is 'Can reproduce freely with each other and form seeds'.
