The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the best method to obtain virus-free plants through tissue culture. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Meristem culture - Protoplast culture - Embryo rescue - Anther culture 3. **Explaining Meristem Culture**: - Meristematic tissues are regions in plants where cells are actively dividing. - These tissues lack a vascular system, which is crucial for the movement of viruses within the plant. - Because of the rapid cell division in meristematic tissues, viruses cannot spread effectively, making it an ideal source for obtaining virus-free plants. 4. **Metabolic Activity**: - The high metabolic rate in meristematic tissues further inhibits the replication of viruses. - The presence of plant hormones like auxins in these tissues also helps in preventing virus multiplication. 5. **Evaluating Other Options**: - **Protoplast Culture**: This method is used for obtaining genetically superior species but does not specifically target virus elimination. - **Embryo Rescue**: This technique is used for rescuing embryos that would not survive under normal conditions, not for virus elimination. - **Anther Culture**: This is primarily used for ensuring better pollination and does not relate to virus-free plant production. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the best method to obtain virus-free plants through tissue culture is **meristem culture**. ---
