The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
Knowing the parentage of important fruit hybrids is key in horticulture. Mango hybrid 'Arka Suprabhath' was developed by the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru.
The cross for 'Arka Suprabhath' is:
Amrapali \( \times \) Arka Anmol
Let's look at the options:
(1) Amrapali and Arka Anmol: This is the correct parentage. 'Amrapali' is the female parent and 'Arka Anmol' is the male parent.
(2) Arka Anmol and Amarpali: This lists the same parents but reverses the order, which matters if indicating female \( \times \) male. The standard convention is Female parent \( \times \) Male parent.
(3) Malika and Langra: This is not the parentage for Arka Suprabhath.
(4) Kesar and Neelam: This is the parentage for the hybrid 'Ratna'. Thus, the correct cross is Amrapali \( \times \) Arka Anmol. Amrapali and Arka Anmol
(1) Amrapali and Arka Anmol: This is the correct parentage. 'Amrapali' is the female parent and 'Arka Anmol' is the male parent.
(2) Arka Anmol and Amarpali: This lists the same parents but reverses the order, which matters if indicating female \( \times \) male. The standard convention is Female parent \( \times \) Male parent.
(3) Malika and Langra: This is not the parentage for Arka Suprabhath.
(4) Kesar and Neelam: This is the parentage for the hybrid 'Ratna'. Thus, the correct cross is Amrapali \( \times \) Arka Anmol. Amrapali and Arka Anmol

Approach Solution -2
Naming-convention approach:
Hybrids released by IIHR, Bengaluru are given names beginning with "Arka," while one parent is typically an established commercial cultivar. 'Malika' and 'Langra' and 'Kesar' and 'Neelam' (the known parentage of hybrid 'Ratna') are both established cultivar pairs but are documented parentages for other mango hybrids, not Arka Suprabhath, so they are ruled out first. Between the remaining two options, both list 'Amrapali' and 'Arka Anmol' but in reverse order; by the standard female \( \times \) male convention used in IIHR's official parentage records, 'Amrapali' is recorded as the female parent and 'Arka Anmol' as the male parent, confirming the order Amrapali \( \times \) Arka Anmol.
