Answers:

Hybridization is the process of interbreeding between the plants belonging to different species (interspecific hybridization) or genetically distinct individuals of same species (intraspecific hybridization). The offspring produce by this method is called as hybrid. The hybridization allows the breeding between parent plants that have desired characteristics, which results in production of hybrid having desired characteristics of both of the parents.

Therefore, in the given situation hybridization is the process that should be adopted to combine the traits of the two varieties of plants.
