In a plant breeding programme, removal of anthers from a flower bud before dehiscence is called:

AHybridisation
BBagging
CEmasculation
DPollination
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Emasculation
**Emasculation** = removal of anthers from a (bisexual) flower bud *before* dehiscence to prevent self-pollination, used when the female parent has bisexual flowers. The emasculated bud is then **bagged** (with butter-paper) to prevent unwanted pollen contamination.
