Correct option is C

✅ (c) Homozygous and Homogeneous [Pure Lines] • Pedigree selection is used in self-pollinated crops to select desirable homozygous individuals across generations. • The goal is to develop genetically uniform (homogeneous) and homozygous lines. • It is an effective method to fix desirable traits. • Resulting varieties are true-breeding.
