3

4

Was developed through induced mutation

Solution:

Parbhani Kranti is a well-known variety of bhindi (okra) that is resistant to Yellow Mosaic Virus. This variety was developed through conventional breeding methods, specifically hybridization and selection. Options (2) and (4) are incorrect as it is resistant to Yellow Mosaic Virus, not powdery mildew, and was developed through hybridization, not induced mutation. Option (3) is incorrect as it is a bhindi variety, not wheat, and the high amino acid content is characteristic of biofortified wheat varieties like Atlas 66, not Parbhani Kranti.
