Transgenic plants are the ones:

1. generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell
2. produced after protoplast fusion in artificial medium
3. grown in artificial medium after hybridization in the field
4. produced by a somatic embryo in artificial medium

Correct answer: generated by introducing foreign DNA into a cell and regenerating a plant from that cell

Solution

Transgenic plants are created by inserting foreign DNA into a plant cell and then growing that modified cell into a complete plant. The key feature is the presence of introduced DNA, not just tissue culture or hybridization methods.
