The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Triticale is a man-made cereal crop created by cross-breeding wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale), bringing together wheat's high yield and grain quality with rye's hardiness and disease resistance.
Its very name is a blend of "Triticum" and "Secale", which directly reflects its two parent crops.
It has nothing to do with oat or barley, which rules out the other three options.
