Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: 'Malika x Langra' and 'Kesar x Neelam' are parentages of other hybrids, not Arka Suprabhath, so both are ruled out.
Step 2: The remaining two options both name Amrapali and Arka Anmol but in different order.
Step 3: IIHR records list Amrapali as the female parent and Arka Anmol as the male parent.
Step 4: The correct answer is Amrapali and Arka Anmol.
