Hint: In biology, a hybrid is the offspring that result after combining the qualities of two organisms of various breeds, varieties, species or genera through reproduction. Hybrids are not simply in between features of oldsters that are thought as blending inheritance however it is conjointly the hybrid with higher features like growing larger or taller than either parent.

Complete Answer:
- Triticale may be hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) that is first bred in laboratories within the late 19th century in European country and Scandinvian nation.
- In market triticale is available as a second generation hybrid which is formed by crosses between first generation or primary (first cross) triticales.
- Triticale has the better feature like the yield potential and grain quality of wheat with the disease and environmental tolerance also with soil conditions of rye.

So, the correct answer is It is an intergeneric hybrid.

Note: Wheat is a grass mainly cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is used as staple food. The various species of wheat together form the hybrid genus Triticum; the mostly used crop of common wheat (T. aestivum). The archaeological record gives the information that wheat was initially cultivated in the Fertile Crescent around 9600 BCE. Botanically, the wheat kernel is a kind of fruit called a caryopsis.
