Hint Plant breeding may be used to create varieties, which are resistant to pathogens and insect pests. This increases the yield of the food. This method is also used to increase the protein part of the plant foods and so improve the quality.
Complete Step-by-step answer:

Many people Have deficiencies as they cannot buy fruits & vegetables Is called hidden hunger. It is a type of undernutrition that takes place when we take in food and absorption of vitamins and minerals (such as zinc, iodine, and iron) are too low to experience good physical condition and development.

  • • Crops with higher vitamins, proteins, and fats-biofortification.

  • • Breeding crops with more amount of vitamins and minerals, or more protein and fats that are healthy.

  • • Growing microbes as the alternative source of proteins – Single cell protein. One of the alternate sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition is single-cell protein. Microbes are being grown on a large scale as a good source of protein.

  • Capacity to generate plant from a single cell or explant- totipotency. Totipotency is the capacity of a cell to multiply and form all the differentiated cells in an organism. In a multi-celled organism, a cell after controlled division goes for cell differentiation. Production of thousands of plants through tissue culture- micropropagation.
    A population derived from a single individual by asexual reproduction constitutes a clone. Clonal propagation by using the tissue culture technique is well known as micropropagation. Genetically identical plants- Somaclones. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown, i.e., they are called somaclones.
    So the correct answer is option C .
    Note: As traditional breeding techniques failed to keep pace with demand and provide sufficiently fast and efficient systems for crop improvement, another technology is called tissue culture. Techniques of tissue culture and somatic hybridization provide the extensive potential for control of plants in vitro to produce new varieties.
