The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks how disease-resistant crops are obtained. This involves understanding the methods used in plant breeding to enhance disease resistance. 2. **Identifying the Methods**: The options provided are: - A) Crossing with new varieties - B) Crossing with wild varieties - C) Injecting with organic compounds - D) None of the above 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option A**: Crossing with new varieties can lead to improved traits, but it may not specifically enhance disease resistance. - **Option B**: Crossing with wild varieties is a common method used in plant breeding to introduce disease-resistant traits. Wild varieties often possess genes that confer resistance to diseases. - **Option C**: Injecting with organic compounds is not a standard method for developing disease-resistant crops. - **Option D**: This option can be ruled out since there are methods available for obtaining disease-resistant crops. 4. **Conclusion**: The most effective method for obtaining disease-resistant crops is by crossing with wild varieties. This method allows for the introduction of beneficial traits from wild relatives into cultivated varieties, enhancing their resistance to diseases. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer is **B) Crossing with wild varieties**.
