The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about "Himgiri," which is developed through hybridization and selection for disease resistance against rust pathogens. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The term "hybridization" refers to the process of crossing two different varieties or species to produce a hybrid that possesses desired traits. In this case, Himgiri is developed to have resistance against rust pathogens. 3. **Recognizing the Crop Type**: The question specifies that Himgiri is a variety that has been modified for disease resistance. The rust pathogens are commonly associated with certain crops, particularly wheat. 4. **Confirming the Crop**: After analyzing the options provided (chili, maize, sugarcane, and wheat), it becomes clear that Himgiri is a variety of wheat. This is supported by the fact that wheat is known to be affected by rust diseases, and breeding programs often focus on developing resistant varieties. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that Himgiri is a variety of wheat. **Final Answer**: Himgiri is a variety of wheat. ---
