Transgenic plants are the ones:

  1. A
    generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell.
  2. B
    produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium.
  3. C
    grown in artificial medium after hybridization in the field.
  4. D
    produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Transgenic plants (Genetically Modified Plants) are created by inserting a foreign DNA segment (gene of interest) into a plant cell's genome and then regenerating a whole plant from that single cell using tissue culture.
