Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
High yielding popular varieties of Mexican wheat were originally red grained.
The colour was not liked by the Indians.
Their cultivation in India was made possible by the development of amber seed colour (e.g., Sharbati Sonora) through mutational events.
The original Mexican wheat varieties were improved by Borlaug through this process.
