Answer:
B. very high genetic variation
Explanation:
Selective breeding is the process by which crops or animals with desired phenotypic traits are chosen to produce offspring, which will contain the desired qualities. In this case, a group of scientists is trying to apply the principles of selective breeding to develop a particular crop plant.
This goal of producing a useful crop plant by the scientists can only be achieved when the plant species in question possess a HIGH GENETIC VARIATION i.e. difference in genetic constitution of individuals of the same species. This allows the individuals in the population to survive better.
It is the identity of the genes of your chromosomes that is your genetics that may not be physical, as compared to a phenotype which is a physical trait.
