The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks about the hybridization of triticale and which crop it is hybridized with wheat. 2. **Understand Triticale**: Triticale is a hybrid crop. It is important to know that it is not a naturally occurring plant but rather a result of human intervention in plant breeding. 3. **Know the Parent Crops**: Triticale is specifically a hybrid between wheat (genus Triticum) and rye (genus Secale). 4. **Scientific Classification**: The scientific name for wheat is Triticum, and for rye, it is Secale. When these two crops are hybridized, the resulting hybrid is known as triticale. 5. **Chromosomal Doubling**: After the hybridization of wheat and rye, the F1 generation undergoes chromosomal doubling. This means that the number of chromosomes is doubled to stabilize the hybrid, resulting in a fertile hybrid. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the information gathered, the correct answer to the question is that triticale is a hybrid between wheat and rye. 7. **Final Answer**: The correct option is rye. ---
