Answer 1

Hint The plants are now developed genetically. In that, they are developed into a better quality of their previous version. They are developed as pest-resistant or can be developed to give high yield and some are also developed to resist the disease caused by pathogens.

Complete answer:
-Pusa Shubhra is a variety of cauliflower. It is a newly developed variety of the cauliflower which is resistant to curl blight black rot. They are compact, slightly conical in shape, and have creamish white color, and are non-leafy in appearance. They grow in the rainy season of the year and do not decay if the harvesting is delayed.
-Pusa swarnim is a variety of the plant brassica. It is developed to have resistance from the white rust. Albugo candida causes white rust disease in the plant. This disease leads to chlorosis on the leaf surfaces, swelling of the roots, and have white outgrowths on the stems. This disease can also cause the deformity of the flowers.
-Pusa sadabahar is a resistant variety of chili. It is resistant to the chili mosaic virus. It produces chili for three continuous years. It is also resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and leaf curl disease. This disease leads to the leaf rolling, bushy growth of the plant, and necrosis.
-Himgiri is a variety of wheat plants. It is resistant to the bacterial blight of leaf and stripe rust. It is a hybridized variety of wheat. It is also resistant to diseases of yellow rust and hill bunt.

So, the correct answer is ‘1-b, 2-d, 3-c, 4-a’.

Note: A hybridized variety of plants is produced in order to provide resistance to the plant variety. So, the genome is inserted in the cells of the plant that they become resistant. Such plants are called genetically modified plants.
