Correct answer: D. Rye.

Explanation
Triticale is the first man made cereal or crop, which has been produced by intergeneric hybridization between common wheat (Triticum aestivum) and European rye (Secale cereale) with a view to combine characters of these two parent plants. Triticale is hexaploid, i.e, 2n = 6x = 62 (when tetraploid wheat is used) or octoploid,i.e., 2n = 8x = 56 (when hexaploid wheat is used).Triticale or Triticosecale is not suitable for purpose of bread making due to low gluten content, but it is a good forage crop.
